Flexibility

Well we have been running the ARC shelter all week. We have 33 residents, all of whom to my knowledge are individuals who have been displaced after a HUD apartment complex was condemned (due to damage from the flooding) last Tuesday.

I have been the ARC supervisor in charge of shelter operations from 12am-8am. It has been quite an experience!

My team has been split up into three 8hour shifts for the week and I haven't seen some of my teammates since we got here. I finally got word that we are being released by the ARC tomorrow and closing down the shelter to head back to Jackson and out-process.

I have NO CLUE where we go or what we do from there, but I suppose I will know on Wednesday. Hoping to head to Nashville with flood relief efforts up there.

Here's to one hectic last week of service.

No matter what our deployment, we will return to campus May 18th to begin my team's AmeriCorps out-processing and soon after I will be bracing myself for some pretty emotional good-byes.
