Thursday was a good day to get things done. I was in the group that went to Betty's group, and we got everything done we wanted to. We dry-walled and installed the bathroom toilet and sink, we ripped out carpet and fixed up the backyard. We finished up the dry-wall and were pleased to find out that in a few weeks another group is coming to help her. 
Finally all of us felt the satisfaction of accomplishing what we came to do when we saw the smile on her face. She was so happy to have us there, and while all week she thanked us, on Thursday when she saw all of the progress she was so happy it seemed like she was about to cry. She was so grateful, and the look on her face when she saw that she had a liveable bedroom and working electricity made the trip for me. 
After the work that day, we decided to go back to Bourbon street. We had already been a few times, but we had tickets to see an old time jazz band at Preservation Hal. They were pretty good, and a group of us wound up a few shops down at Fritzels, another jazz bar that was amazing. Fritzels was my favorite, they played upbeat music from the 1920's. I would definitely enjoy coming back, it was so much fun! The night ended there for most people, but not all :) Some of us went to Raising Cane's, which is in Ohio, but always a good experience. I talked to some people I hadn't got a chance to know really well throughout the trip at Cane's, it was a lot of fun. 
Now we're about to leave and already it's a full day. Some of us went back to the French Quarter to do some last minute shopping. Others, including me, went with Natasha to Target. We all had a good time, just shopping and wandering around. We all went to eat after Target, and now we're sitting in the church's gym, discussing random topics and resting before our big drive. Having fun :)
