After being here at the Peter Pan motel for 5 days setting up for my team, it has come for the rest of the team to arrive!! I have been setting up all the rooms, cleaning, washing, and everything that you could possibly imagine to be ready for 57 students to live here!! It has been a busy week, and a very cold one as well! The weather has been cloudy and overcast-forcing us all to wear pants and fleece jackets. But, it has finally warmed up to 65 and sunny today so that we can all enjoy the California sun and the arrival of all :)
Yesterday, an unexpected arrival occurred and the first of the team arrived, Meg Gaito. After being with 10 guys from my team (and the staff, of course!) it was so nice to finally have another girl here that I will be spending my summer with! We hit it off immediately, and chatted for a good 4 hours after her arrival. I was slightly ignored by the guys, since I had a new friend-but all is good as we all anticipate the arrival of the whole team.
Santa Cruz is an interesting place to be, and to be close to the Boardwalk, beach, Lighthouse, and even the Redwood forest is such a cool place to be this summer :) I don't have much to say, since the project has only officially started today but I am so pumped to finally begin what I have been called to in Santa Cruz, California!!! :)
