Iowa is where the wild things are

This morning was our physicals. I learned in about 30 minutes that I have good blood sugar, I'm not preggers, I'm not on crack, and I have good reflexes. Overall, a good time.

We then went on a tour of Vinton (pics on my facebook). I had a lot of fun, the town is tiny, but everyone is so nice! Everywhere I went, it was "welcome, welcome", "we are so glad you are here", "you are so beautiful and amazing." Ok, that last one wasn't true, but its bound to happen sooner or later. Anyways, AmeriCorps actually got us a bunch of bikes so I think later I will bike around so I can get more pictures.

We get the rest of today (sat) off so tonight I'm joining a group of people and going to Cedar Rapids to see the movie Where the Wild Things Are. Its about a 45 minute drive, but so worth it cause I loved that book!

Things I have learned in AmeriCorps so far (...continued)
-There is no such thing as weekends anymore.
-People who work at a blind school do not find Helen Keller jokes funny.
