Bathrooms and Bouquets

I don't know why it's so difficult to get online when I'm in Sacramento! There's finally internet in my building but I feel like I'm always just so busy! Last weekend I took a nice trip to Santa Cruz. Kendra, Abby, Whitney, and Ashley came too. We went just to see a State Radio concert and it was tons of fun! Santa Cruz is a very cute city. The downtown is full of unique shops and when we headed towards the beach everyone said it looks just like we could've been in Europe. We only got to walk around for a bit. It was raining most of the time we were there and we we're only there for like 24 hours.
Now, for next weekend! There is a regional competition for indoor drumline, and Blue Knights will be there! I'm gonna drive down just to see and I'm so excited. I'm even taking off Monday morning so I don't haveto leave early. I'll let you know how it all goes next week :)
As for actual AmeriCorps stuff....the students are on spring break for the next 2 weeks. For this week we're doing some work around the school. We've been painting bathrooms and doing different landscaping type jobs. Next week we will be working with a different sponsor temporarily. Still don't know what it will be though....
Oh I forgot to mention why the post is called bathrooms and bouquets....Bathrooms since I've been painting them the past two days; bouquets because we also arranged and bagged flowers. There is a flower arranging class at the high school that put together arrangements for National Agriculture Day. We got to help out a bit with that the past couple days too. they also gave us 6 dozen roses and a ton of daisies to take home with us :)

I have a few pictures from Santa Cruz I can post soon...These pictures are compliments of Abby
