Greetings

Welcome to my little corner of the inter-webs! I just wanted to take this space to warn you that my posts will rarely be up to date. Due to the spontaneity of natural disasters and the unpredictability of when AmeriCorps' services will be requested I will be digitizing my journal entries whenever we return to St. Louis. Oh, and most of the pictures you see here were taken by myself. If ever I do use someone else's material I make a point to give them due credit though! That said, come, leave comments and be merry! I hope you enjoy your stay!

Elk Zone - 5/27

After a nice and mostly relaxing weekend in Michigan with my family, I’m back in the Elk Zone.  The day went much like the others only this time a change in the wind’s direction resulted in me getting covered in a fine mist of chemical. I made sure to shower when I got back to our housing so I’m hoping I will be all right—no skin irritation, which is a good sign… I think.  Anyways, one unfortunate discovery from the weekend is that I am no longer capable of truly relaxing.  I feel as if I have been conditioned to constantly be doing something and to feel guilty if I’m not.  I admit I am as much to blame as anyone for my current state of being as I have always been hard on myself; now I just need to find a means to change.  Perhaps that change will have to wait another 2 months, but it is one that needs to happen for my sanity’s sake!


In other news, I am on an X-Men kick again.  My family and I went to see the new X-Men movie and I really enjoyed it.  I’d say it may be my favorite X-Men movie yet, although I still need to see The Wolverine.  The Sentinels were much creepier than the ones shown in the animated TV series I used to watch.  Anyhow, I hope you all are doing well.  Talk to you soon!
