Easter weekend

We went to Indy yesterday - I don't have that natural curiosity to explore cities so I just followed around a couple friends. It was really nice though. Bigger than Richmond, and also cleaner. Had a lot to do, looked like a great city to live in or around. We went to several war memorials and climbed one, it was 330 stairs - and also aprox 1000 degrees at the top. But I'm glad we did it, felt accomplished. We also went to the art museum which again isn't something I'd normally run towards but it turned out pretty well. So far the lesson in life is try new things and might like them.
I also love the town of Greensburg though! So cute, reminds me of Colonial Heights kind of but also has a cute aspect kind of like Old Town Petersburg. I've been telling my friend here that I'm going to live in Greensburg but visit Indy on the weekends. The distance is comparable to the distance between Matoaca and Richmond. Not too bad.
As far as Easter plans I think we're doing an Easter egg hunt. None of the staff are here since it's a YMCA camp so it's a little more empty than normal.

Not much else going on, I finished my scholarship packet and started FAFSA so I can do a semester of school when I get back. I've also looked at different opportunities,  with other Americorps programs (simply because it's too early to apply to the job I want for next year). The job I want next year is Support Team Leader, it's more of an administrative job in which you obviously SUPPORT the team leaders. I wouldn't have a team that went out and worked, I'd just stay on campus the entire 11 months. I'd earn a second education award and the pay is significantly better.
I want to go to Vinton again because I like the area and I LOVE the staff but I know that'd be taking the easy way out...so I'm thinking about Denver. I hear so many fantastic things about Colorado, Denver in particular but I just want to talk to someone out there most likely a corps member and see how they feel about the staff/location just to get another perspective.

umm, that's about it though. Hope you guys back at home are having a good Easter. I woke up at 730 to wash clothes haha...exciting!
