In Attempt to Change the World: June 13, 2013

We didn't end up finishing the house yesterday. Blue team had the morning shift and we went and put the roof beams up and pieces of wood in between the beams so that birds can't make nests in the house. Me and a girl named Bailey worked on one whole wall sticking the boards between the beams. IT was pretty hard. I was hit in the hand by a hammer and almost fell off the scaffolding all in about five minutes. We thought that we were going to do the plywood too, but we didn't. After lunch we waited for the bus for a little bit and then we went back to the resort. They gave us the option to go shopping at shacks and the grocery store, but I stayed home. Everybody else from my room went and I stayed back and watched tv and read my book. The ice cream I bought was really good. When everybody else got back we went down to the beach and we were down there for a while. I took my boogie board out but I was only able to get one really good wave and a few kind of good waves. When I got out of the water I was playing in the sand and Ericka came over and said we should build something and we decided to bury her and make her a mermaid tail. IT was awesome! Then we buried Ashely's body so she was just a head popping out of the sand. It was really fun but my knees were hurting and really red. After we stayed a little longer at the beach we went to the pool and it was happy hour and you could get drinks 2 for $5 and I got a virgin (hopefully) strawberry daiquiri and it was pretty good. Then we went to dinner on the patio. We had tamales and beans. Those tamales were so hot my mouth was on fire! After dinner we went back up to the condo for awhile and then we went down to the hot tub for awhile until the dance started on the beach. I wasn't planning on going to the dance, but I ended up going for a little bit. Yeah it wasn't that fun. I really don't find joy in jumping up and down. Me, Beth Anne and Christy went up and hopped in the big bath in our swimsuits. Then I took a shower and hopped into bed and watched a little bit of Transformers 2. This morning I woke up at 7:00 and we left to go to the school. The school we went to was founded by Rotary, but is the poorest school in the area. They presented some dances to us and we did the boot scootin boogie. Then we passed out toys and played and danced with them and it was super super fun! When we left there was a line of little kids that we shook hands and said goodbye to.
