April 8^th 2009

39 hours completed

This was a day out of our spring break, and one well spent.  It was a dull day. There were no field trips because most of the kids were on spring break as well. We spent most of the day taking stalk for the shop; specifically counting magazines. There were boxes upon boxes of magazines and we were to count most if not all of them and then reorganize them. This wasn’t as easy as it would seem. The boxes were dusty and often had numbers that were misleading on the top. Everything from wrong amounts the wrong edition of the magazine, there were 16 in total. We didn’t take stalk at 826, instead we went over to a building across the street to a publishing place that was once housed in the same space as 826. The guy who had founded 826 had also founded the publishing place and 826 used there underground space to store some of their stuffs. After some brakes, a lunch one included, and long hours of counting, we finally finished  counting all 8,900 issues. I feel like we acomplished something.
