We’re now back in NYC and dealing with withdrawal from the trip and the Louisiana weather. Our last two days together were wonderful and we’re so sad to say goodbye to each other! Oliver began writing a summary of Friday, our last day on the build site, but he never finished, so I’ll just leave it […]
After a late night at The Blue Moon Saloon, the gang had a bit of slow morning, but still managed to arrive to the work site promptly at 9am. This of course, wasn’t good enough to beat the Ohio State crew, who seriously must be getting up at like 6am. As usual, we split off […]
Chili. Delightful. Work work work work work work These are just a few of the phrases that describe the emotional roller coaster that was day 3 of our spring break build in Lafayette. The day began like any other: Dorothy ate another donut at 8am and Meghana made us feel bad by going for a […]

When we finally reached New Orleans, we visited the Hurricane Katrina Memorial. It was a great opportunity to reflect and […]
On the Friday evening before our flight, I was too excited to sleep.

Welcome to our blog! Tomorrow morning, the spring break crew will be getting up at the crack of dawn to catch our flight to Lafayette, Louisiana. We will be there for a week, working with Habitat Lafayette. We have a lot planned and we’re really excited to finally get down there! Every day, we will post a little […]
