Just some questions

Got some questions lately so I'm just answering here :)
As for food, we do grocery shopping we do that as a team. There's a budget and we make lists and either the whole team goes or just a few people go. So far it's going pretty good, every now and then we have to have a conversation about small things but it's all good. I've tried a lot of new things, like black bean and rice burgers and avacado! And surprisingly I liked both :) I feel like I'm learning a lot about different things I'm trying to be more open minded to everything including food. When it comes to cooking we take turns and the same with cleaning. We all take turns which is going extremely well.
On the topic of free time, I have some....not do much now as I did when we first got here but still some on weekends...when we get free time we basically get cabin fever! But it's not bad it's okay. There are places around here to go but I don't go out much cause I don't want to spend money or go out in the snow haha. There's a couple food places and some stores plus we go to town a lot so it's okay.Nwe generally don't have training on weekends but it can happen just hasnt happened to my team yet. Thankfully.
As for the demographics here I'm basically middle of the spectrum. Some people right out of high school, some people who graduated college, and some college students. Everyone here is at different parts of life so it's super interesting to see different perspectives on things.

I'll answer anything else I get on here too. Love you guys please feel free to send questions or anything it's hard for me to come up with interesting things but I'd love to know what you guys want to know :)

CTI project

Haven't updated in a while, been pretty busy around here. Lots of CTI trainings all day long. I feel like I've learned a lot though, I still love this place! However there was an interesting event...
On Friday (2/22/13) I was playing soccer in the gym and I ended up straining/spraining my knee..I've been hobbling around since there, I have a brace coming in the mail so hopefully that works! I'm getting better already though, still no full range of motion but it's getting there. I've just been told to wear a brace and no PT for a week.
Our first project is at the Cedar Rapids Sceience Center. It's located in the mall in Cedar Rapids, it just works to educate the public..they run science camps for youth also. We'll be painting, organizing, and overall improvment of the facilities.

I don't really know what else to put..I'm crippled temporarily and I'm happy about my upcoming project.
It's really busy though so the best way to get in touch with me is probably e-mail cause I can check/respond whenever I have free time.

Rail road tracks walking towards campus

My two friends helping me limp back to my room Friday night.

Went to this cultural food place, not sure of the name but it's really cool and has several types of food from soul food to Russian. This cupcake was the best one I've ever had in my life

Our first snow storm, there's more now...maybe I'll get another picture but it snows a lot!

Had to...

Delete my address off this blog, had training today in social networking and I'm not allowed to have that posted on a public blog so if you still need the whole address just shoot me an email or ask my mom.
Everything is going well! I appreciate the mail I've already gotten :) people are commenting on how much mail I get so keep it up y'all! I love it

Got a sticker today for my team getting some questions right the fastest :) OAK 3

Just some pictures

My team leader made us acorns cause we're oaks :)

Updated address

My address is posted on here so I don't want to type it out again cause I'm not on a computer everyone just add OAK 3 after CLASS 19
It'll be
Brandy Meador Class 19 Oak 3
Then the rest of the address is the same hope this makes sense

Everything is going well though guys! Didn't make the fire team but oh well still love my team

I MADE IT

I posted about this on facebook but not everyone follows me on there, if you'd like just add me and I'll probably update that faster than this.
I did qualify for the fire fighting team though, had to be under 45 minutes and got 42:50 so go me! :) Here's hoping I get a spot.
This would just mean that I could work on different projects, involving fire. Also PT (physical training) 5 days a week opposed to 3 days like regular corps members.
Wish me luck guys - I assume I'll know by Monday night.
