W.E.S.T Week

so this past week was 150% AMAZING! it was one of the best weeks of my life! on monday morning my mom drove me to Victory Ranch which is somewhere around Hemet. boy was i in for an unexpected week!!! i knew i was gonna have to do some work but not the amount that we did! here is a basic layout of my days:

-woke up at 6:00am
-personal devotions until 7
-exercise (aka RUNNING and jumping jacks and stretching. eww!)
-work for an hour. this consisted of hoeing weeds, raking leaves, and dying in the hot sun!
-breakfast at 8:30 (i think)
-work for THREE more hours
-lunch
-30 mins of free time
-training.
-dinner
-devotions
-game
-bed at 10:30

we were so busy! and we had to read a 30 page manual about the rules AND a food handling manual so we could take tests on them. eww! haha. here are some highlights of the week:

-THE PEOPLE!! there were 23 of us. every single person was amazing! some more than others but they were so fun!
-riding a horse! i dont like horses and i was so scared when i found out we had to ride one! but it was so fun!
-we all went crazy on thursday night and died of laughter. so much fun!
-playing human tidily-winks :D
-marco polo and someone diving in the shallow end and chipping his tooth.
-having a "shadow" aka the directors son. he is 8 and he followed me everywhere! he is so cute!
-being around tall people! woo hoo! :D
-games!
-hoeing weeds on the side of the road and getting people to wave at us and trucks to honk at us! :D woo hoo!
-reading other peoples loooove notes! :P
-laughing so hard i cried
-wanting to laugh when i took something the wrong way but realizing that the people around me were not hippos and would not think it was funny! haha. :P
-campfire x2
-goooood food!
-failing a math test! woo hoo! it was adding money and stuff.. but i failed! but i re-took it the next day and passed :D
-having no phone! it was amazing! the isolation was awesome!
-EVERYTHING!

my week was absolutely amazing! now i wait for the call that will inform me if i made staff or not. i reaaaallllyy hope i do get to work! :D

random: when i got my phone back, the only people i texted were the ones i had spent all week with. hahaa. weird.

that was such an amazing week. i have never worked that hard in my life but it was awesomely fun!
