I completed the month of Corps member Training Institute or CTI. Where we learn basic skills, like tool safety, rules, living with people, etc. it can be pretty hard to sit through meetings, though it seemed a lot easier this time around because I expected it to be boring. CTI is also a very good time to meet people who will potentially be on your team, make new friends, and knock some ISP (independent service projects) out of the way. ISP a required 80 hours ( in addition to our other work hours) that we need to work with other non profit organizations other than the one we are currently serving with. One of the most memorable ISP's I did last year was The Color Run in Denver, CO. So much fun. So towards the end of CTI we found out what our team were and what projects we were assigned to. The process of finding this was similar to that of hazing/Al Qaida. Don't ask. Once the blindfolds were off, I looked around and saw some familiar faces, none of which were my "close friends" in the corps. This is the beauty of AmeriCorps. The only constant is change. Our project is working at Milford State Park renovating cabins in Milford, KS. And that's where I am now, on Thanksgiving, remembering that I have a blog. I'll try to keep up, I promise. ;)
