Day 9

 Today we did work from 8-11. And then 12-2. We checked in with Lynne in the morning and went to talk to Greg. He gave us the keys to the kabota and Lynne took a trip up there with us. Greg agreed that it would be awesome if we finished the other tent platform so we have made that our goal to finish by the end of the week. We mostly just moved the base wood into place, nothing fancy. But we did take a good look at the already made platform to get an idea of what we will be doing. We are excited to start work on this Friday Monday and Tuesday to finish up our project!

Reflection week 1

  After a week of adjusting to our project and trying to work on our goals I think we accomplished a lot within our confines. One challenge so far is having to rely on so many teachers and knowing that with their busy lives and still being in classes it’s hard to work together to accomplish our needs when we need them. None the less we have had a great start to the project.   As I have said in my previous blogs, we have been working pretty much only around the opening by the cabin. We started a little on Friday to look into what we need to do for next week but left most of it to start on Monday. We cleared out the dead wood and trees, cleared paths down to the water, and made clear and easy to see markings to show you where mud pond is.  For next weeks goal we hope to make a clear cut path through the woods all around much pond. We will move trees that are blocking the path and cut down anything that’s growing in the paths. We are excited to start our next leg of our project and hope t

Day 2

  Our second day was very fun and pretty eventful. We got to work early in the morning at 8:45. We got up there and cleaned out the clearing. We raked up dry brush, twigs, and leafs and threw them in the fire pit hoping one of these days we can light it.   We worked until 11:45 then went down for a quick JJ’s bite. We headed back up at 12 to continue our work. It turns out we don’t have the permits or permission for that but here’s hoping! We took big logs and broke them up into fire wood and piled it under the 3 sided cabin.   Bryson found the biggest logs and lined the path down to the pond with them to make use of them and make a clear boundary.  We made a sign with an old piece of flat wood and a rock and carved “Mud Pond” and our initials into it for a personal touch! We found a spare nail and hammered it into a tree at the entrance to the path (with a rock) and finally headed back down at 2 to get ready for afternoon activities!

Day 7

  Today was an interesting day because it was our first day of on campus community service. We spent the morning in Kelly’s office doing inventory. So for example we would count how many of the ace bandages she said and then sloane (our scribe) would mark it down. we worked in there for a couple hours and did inventory on almost all the materials. After that we headed to lunch and went and met with the development office . We didn’t do much work there but we did do a lot of talking and listening just learning about what they are trying to achieve and what we can help them with. The idea will be to do a lot of alumni work for them and possibly graduation prep. Today we worked from 9:30- 12 and then 1-2.
