up your architecture.: Chapter 26: The N-Trips Last Night

So I'm not sure if I've mentioned it before, but there are two groups of Americorps NCCC members at Hands On and one of them is leaving us at the end of their spike and heading to California for their last spike. For those of you who don't know AmeriCorps NCCC is a program for 18-24 year olds that gives them an opportunity to serve different communities around the United States for 10 months in teams of 8-12 people. They have 5 spikes of approximately two months a piece. Anyhow, the teams are leaving tomorrow and as I'm sure you've seen through pictures in earlier blogs, especially Mardi Gras in New Orleans, we've gotten to be really good friends. So for their last night we all went out to Just Us, a gay spot which also sports karaoke on Tuesday and Thursday nights. It's a totally sweet spot and they really like the Hands On folks that come down there. Anyhow, I'm really going to miss all these guys and gals. I guess the next spike period we're getting three teams, but they're not going to all be here until after I come back from presenting my Thesis midterm progress. So, to all my NCCCs, I love you. Have a safe last spike!
