Sent in my forms

I finally sent in the forms that came with the Welcome Packet on Monday. I should have done it awhile ago, but work got crazy and I didn't have the time. Now that it's done and over with I can breathe easy. At least until I have to start packing. I'm making a list of things right now, but it's not finished. When it is I'll probably post it.

I'm really nervous about flying up there by myself too. I chose the flying option because it was just easier to me. I was going to have someone drive me up there, but it's just not feasible, so in the air I go! I've only flown once by myself before, from Baltimore back to St. Louis, and it wasn't bad, but I was a mess of emotions at the time and some guy sitting in the row with me wanted to chat and I really wasn't in the mood.

I really just want it to be August already. I keep saying that, but it's true. My current living situation is far from ideal, and while I love my job right now, I don't like the hours. Last week was an exception, but I normally only get seven to nine a week.

And I just realized June is over half over. Which means we're down to two and a half months. Team Leaders will be arriving on campus next month too. I feel like I'm nowhere near ready when in all honesty I still have quite a bit of time. Maybe I'll go buy a couple of things today and start setting aside stuff that I'm bringing. I wish I had the duffel bag so I knew how much space I have.

I received my Welcome Packet today!

I spent quite a bit of time reading it. I knew there were going to be some differences between the traditional Americorps NCCC program and FEMA Corps thanks to keeping up with the Facebook page. It was a lot of information to take in though the first time through reading it. I'll most likely read it several more times over the summer. It's 52 pages long, and that does include the forms I have to fill out and send it. Speaking of, I need to get those printed out as soon as possible. Right now I actually don't know how I'm getting to campus. I was planning on flying, but after looking at some of the flights out of St. Louis, I don't know how that's going to happen. It seems to be a lot of connecting. But the campus might know something I don't. My second choice was being driven up there, but that might not happen because of car issues. I'd really rather not take the bus or train. I have a few days to figure it out, although I want to get these forms done as soon as possible.

This is a pretty short post, but it's mainly just me getting excited now that I have my welcome packet. Not much else to say for now. Just gotta fill out these forms...
