Today was the warmest day we have experienced this year, but along with heat comes melting. The work site had almost been transformed into a river as the snow keeps melting and softening up the ground. You have to love walking around in half a foot of slippery, slimy and nasty mud, and having about a pound of this mud stuck to your steel-toed boots at all times. To be honest, I would rather be working in colder and more convenient conditions, where you can work for your warmth and stay clean. For the most part our work stayed the same: drywall, building walls, clean up, framing, etc.

After work, we were given $20 for each group of three, which was what bought our supper at McDonald's. We all found it pretty easy to get a decent meal for only $6.66 per person. We then made a trip to the Boy's and Girl's club, where we met some great people and played some basket ball. Joe Lee and Mike were our representative RJC players, but they had tough competition from a kid named Alex. After getting back to the hotel and filling in our journals, we all relaxed and settled in and got ready for an early night of sleep after such an exhausting day.
