5 Things to do at TN when "there is nothing to do!"

"There is nothing to do!" This is the response every adult person gets when they ask a student why they are sitting around while EVERYONE else is working!!! Let me tell you something, there is ALWAYS something to do at Terra Nova. ALWAYS! Don't believe me? 

Well, here is a list of 5 things you can do at Terra Nova: 

1. Clean the bunny cage. No, seriously clean it! The bunnies appreciate old straw being taken out and new straw being put in. They also love fresh water, and more food. Love the bunnies as much as they love you. 

2. WEED THE GARDEN! Those pesky weds never stop growing, pulling weeds out will help the garden grow more beautifully. Grab a pair of gloves, a bucket, and start pulling weeds. 

3. Clean the kitchen. I know, I know, this isn't the most fun thing to be doing but, you warm food, cook, and learn there. Keep it clean. Wash any dishes that are dirty, put away clean dishes, and wipe down counters. 

4. Organize the gym. It gets extremely messy in the gym and by putting just a few tools back in the correct spot you can help! Sweeping the gym floor and mopping like Cinderella had will make it look like a ballroom. Why wouldn't you help? 

5. You know that spot- the one where you get endless supply of tea. Yes the tea station! If you could be so kind and clear dirty cups and tea garage. That. Would. Be. Great. 

You see! There is always something to do at Terra Nova. I just gave you five things you could be doing other than sitting around watching others work hard. And or reading this blog post.

A system of interlocking and interdependent food chains.
