Well, today we woke up at 7:30 instead of 6:30. We got our assignements and hopped in the bus. Some of us went to paint a church's porch while others went to build stairs for a family. We got there at about 11am and started looking for the paints. We discovered a nice little room for us to have lunch in. The porch was mostly primed so we could start with the paint on the railings right away. It was so much white paint! It was pretty intense, but after working for about an hour, we went inside for some lunch: sandwiches. Shelli had the brilliant idea of making the question of the day: The deal-breaker for a potential mate;) That lasted about 45 minutes, then we started painting again. It wasn't too hot because of the breezes and shade. -Lindsay

After lunch, we finished up for the day. We painted the remaining poles and finished priming the floor for painting the following day. Around 3:30 we were finished. So we packed up and headed out. After the painting we drove back to the camp. A few of us went to shower while the rest of us went to the gas station, we went back to camp for the night. In the main building, we played cards and made some snacks. A 6 o'clock we ate some lovely dinner of rice and red beans and sausage (the Lousiana Monday night special) prepared by our own DCPC members. After dinner we went to hang out at the pavillion in the camp and chilled in our pods (which smell like B.O.). There was a social hour where a few people played sardines and ghosts in the graveyard. After that, we went to bed. -Emily
