day 25 → your day, in great detail
today was a long day alright. i woke up at 7.30am on a SATURDAY cos i had to volunteer at 9am. sigh. the reason timing is so restricted is cos i volunteer at a respite home for ppl (mostly children/teenagers) with developmental disabilities (DDs), & they only stay there from Fri to Sun. i guess i could go on Fri afternoons but i'm usually really tired by then. anyway yeah, got there at 8.40am (the bus sped along cos obviously no one takes it at 8.30am -.-). this week's clients were a handful of teenage boys with varying disabilities. i'd be curious to know what DDs they have, but i dunno if it's impolite/nosy to ask. one of them kept talking to me & his speech was really hard to understand, so i just nodded awkwardly half the time. lol. but they were watching a Toy Story DVD, which was awesome cos i forgot how much i love that movie. :D (Toy Story 3 comes out 18 June!!) then i took 2 of the boys on a walk to the park. one of them was in a wheelchair, so that made things kinda interesting. don't think i've actly wheeled anyone around before. and i realized how troublesome it is to go around in wheelchair when the sidewalks are icy/snowy. after that we went to the house, & i watched them play wii before leaving at 11am.
i was soooo tired by the time i got home, & we were supposed to watch Avatar in the afternoon so i took a quick nap (at noon lol). we had to go to the cinema uptown to watch it, cos the one downtown doesn't have it in 3-D. so that took like an hour. but when we got there it was sold out for BOTH 3pm & 6pm. DOTS. so we ended up buying tickets for tmr morning. didn't think it would be so popular since i thought everyone would have watched it over Christmas. anyway we decided to shop around & have dinner at the complex there cos we didn't want to have traveled all the way there for nothing. -.- so we ended up having dinner at 5pm at Denny's. all-day brekkie! i couldn't finish my pancakes though, cos they were super thick.
took the bus home after dinner, but was totally drained by the time i got home (again). so i just came up with discussion questions for an article i read yesterday, & read the abstracts for stuff that i'm supposed to read for tmr (aka 65 pages). totally @__________@ right now & i'm considering sleeping at 11pm for the first time since idk when.
i'm REALLY hoping Avatar will be worth it when we watch it tmr. and we're planning on stigling the 3-D glasses we got hahaha.
