Water ballons

Today was such a good day at work, if you could even call it that today. We got to work and went about business as usual for the first 2 hours. Then we had morning break- Ben brought a watermelon he had grown. It was the biggest I have ever seen! We hung out and spit seeds for a while. After morning break, my crew was driving to another building and as we passed another crew one of the guys waved at us to come over. Thinking he needed help, we drove our truck toward him and the best aimed water balloon I have ever seen flew in our truck window (while we were still moving), bounced off my arm and busted on Jason's neck. We both ended up soaked! We spent the next hour trying to figure out how to get this guy back. We tested different types of latex gloves to see which ones busted best and how to fill them. After all this we found out that there was a huge stockpile of balloons, we just had to sneak around and get some. We found a way and iced a few down, especially for our attacker (Ray). We had a big lunch for everyone who worked at the station followed by an afternoon of the Hillbilly Olympics. It was a ton of fun. At some point while Ray was way into the dodgeball game, Jason and I pelted him with our freezing cold water balloons. It was pretty great. The rest of the day, I played volleyball and was part of a few water fights.
Later at night, a few of us got together and went to a movie, then to Perkins and then to Wal-Mart. The day really made me think of being at LU- having so much fun with the people I was with, being attacked with water, Perkins and a late-night Wal-mart run.
This was one of those days where I realized that I really do like Jackson. I've had a couple of those recently. Not that I plan on staying any longer than I was planning on before, but I'm starting to see that I might actually miss this place a lot once I'm gone!
