On 3 June 2009 I will wake up mad early, jump in Bill the Pony (my fabulous forest green minivan), and drive to Maryland. Specifically, Elkton, Maryland, where there is this place called Meeting Ground. You should actually click that link -- its probably one of the best places on earth. Well, I guess I'll be discovering the intricacies and truthiness of that statement soon enough.
Anywho, I leave June 3, which is soon, but not soon enough. Also, perhaps too soon. I am both incredibly excited and super-freakin' out. You are reading the blog of Meeting Ground's official "Volunteer Coordinator" for the summer of 2009. Be impressed. Maybe kiss my feet. At least avert your eyes from my awesome.
Basically, I will be advising and supervising (and all other forms of -vising) the groups of volunteers that come for a week at a time. I tell people what to do, and how to do it, and guide them in other meaningful and fun ways. Also, I'll be living in the community of Meeting Ground, participating in the daily life of the farm. (Clairvaux Farm is the main site of the organization, and where I will be living.) I'll have my own room. Other than that, I have no idea what the amenities are like. Eating and cooking and cleaning with residents, I assume. Laundry? Air conditioning? Hot water? Internet access? These are things I do not know.
Lots of new experiences. Lots of responsibilities. All fabulous and scary things. Word.
Kiersten out.
