Joplin: day 2
Yesterday we arrived in Joplin. Today was our first big day of work. I'm exhausted because theres so many people around, but I'll try to post regular updates.
Today I was about two minutes from being handed a chainsaw and pointed in the right direction. Almost the best day ever. But just moments before all my dreams came true the girl in charge of everythig requested that I use my cargo van to move the office out of MSSU and into the new office building, about ten minutes away. So I spent the day driving around and moving stuff. It was a easy but tiring day. There's 9 NCCC teams here now, plus a couple conservation corps, and the Americorps Saint Louis team. And today there were 177 volunteers helping out (which I'm told is a big drop off). Any way my dreams of chainsawing live on in the hopes that they will be fulfilled on the morrow.
