3rd of July

Today, at WBCWS I typed papers for grants on a typewriter.  I'm pretty good at using typewriters now.  I'm learning so much!

Coming home for lunch, I arrived to all the other interns there!  As I ate noodles, we discussed our 4th of July weekend plans.  After much discussion, Mandy and I decided to go camping in the Black Hills for the weekend!  After 2 or 3 campgrounds said they were booked, we made last minute reservations for Crooked Creek Campground, roughly 6 miles from Harney Peak.
Our agenda for the next two days (that we may stray from):
-Leave tomorrow morning at 10am
-Drive to the campground
-Set up the tent we borrowed
-Go to Mt. Rushmore
-Ask people there where we can go for fireworks
-If no one knows, befriend someone who has fireworks..if we are feeling gutsy
-Watch fireworks and get a good nights sleep
-COMPLETE SOMETHING ON MY BUCKET LIST!!  Climb Harney Peak on Friday!!!
-Campfire and sleep
-Saturday...do something fun!  And drive home.

I'll blog about all my fun when I get back!

After lunch, I went to Boys and Girls club.  We had a car wash again.  I held a "CAR WASH" sign next to the road.  Real smiles sometimes became fake smiles; genuine waves slowed to a lazy wave.  I think I received more nods and waves than people actually washing their car.  We raised lots of money for Boys and Girls Club!

For supper, Mandy and I made bacon, cheddar, and potato soup for fellow interns and guests.

Guests gone, the four of us interns discussed our weekly chapter of a book.  We then prayed for each other and hardships here.  My prayer requests:
-That I will constantly remember why I'm here and my goals.
-Help to make long-term decisions that aren't pressing but are huge.
-Wisdom...lots of wisdom

Now, I'm chilling with Nicole and Mandy.  After a saddening conversation, I want some of the chocolate chips Mandy is eating.  So...I'll wrap up blogging for the night.

On the upside:

I'm going camping tomorrow!!!

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY...eve!!!
