Random thoughts on a long and taxing Monday:
- We took our physical fitness baseline at 6:00 this morning. I was dreading it leading up to it, but was overall happy with the results, at least as a pushing off point. Each time we return to Vicksburg from our spike (projects where we stay off campus) we will do these tests again to judge our physical fitness progress. We will do PT at least 3 times a week for our entire time here. My baseline numbers for today:
-1.5 mile run- 17:08; Goal for end of program- 14:00
-Push-ups in 1 minute- 17; Goal for end of program- 30
-Crunches in 1 minute- 74; Goal for end of program- 90 crunches or 50 situps
- Reading a powerpoint presentation is the worst way to present large amounts of boring information to a group of 18-24 year-olds who have been up since 5:15 and done a fitness test.
- Powerpoint in general is not an overly effective method of information distribution, especially when read straight off the slides.
- I might be a bit picky when it comes to presentations after majoring in mass communications.
- My address here is Drew Bonner, Class XVII 2715 Confederate Ave Vicksburg, MS 39180. I will add it to the blog header.
- I have really enjoyed cooking here. It is so much easier to cook when you are doing it for 10 people then just 1 or 2.
- Alabama Crimson Tide- 12 National Championships, 8 teeth. RTR
SO glad your Dad sent this link! I enjoyed reading about your life in Americorps, so far...hope all is still going well. We are thinking of you and I'm keeping you and your group in my prayers. Love from all of us!!
