Nikki...you rubbed off!
in high school i was never the kind to get involved, maybe i thought i had enough friends i needn't waste my time getting to know those that aren't like me, but i am in college now and thought it would be a good idea to broaden my horizens...so this evening with the help of kristie from down the hall, i became a member of SOS and Habitat for Humanities...SOS means Students Offering Services...that means i go to soup kitchens, clean up shelters and sleep in a cardboard box...that's right. November is hunger/homelessness awareness month and to get the feel of what it would be like we are supposed to camp out in cardboard boxws...this is michigan and it is going to be november...let's be honest there could very well be snow on the ground. I'm all for getting a different view on things, but as far as i'm concerned i know that is sucks to be homeless and it especially sucks when it is winter...i don't need the experience to come to that conclusion. but all in all it was a really fun night. i feel like i went from lowley underachiever to overwhelmed overachiever, i signed up for everything that they passed to me. i think i might even have signed up to stay overnight in detroit at a homeless shelter to help with a food drive...whow now...let's not get too crazy, there is a difference bwtween being helpful and just plain ignorant. i don't think indangering ourselves in the name of charity is called for.LOL i don't know i think it will be fun! the organization not the overnight...(i am not going to that one by the way)
This weekend is going to be fun...i want to come both nights nikki but i think i am going to just come saturday because there is a habitat for humanity build on saturday and i really want to go. we will still have a blast on saturday night i know it and i will be able to be there by dinner time i am sure.
i am not planning a trip home anytime soon, funny, last week all i could think about was the next time i got to go home... it's not that i don't miss everyone, it's just that i am realy sick of that drive, and then the whole having to say goodbye thing all over again everytime...i can't handel it. i think the next time will be over fall break, that is like a month away, but i will see people in between. i think bean is coming to see me for dinner this week, then there is nikki's this weekend, then homecoming is in a couple of weeks, i think the family is coming up for that...i have a softball scrimage that weekend so i know they will be here fr at least one day, britt, ang, the babies and more i am sure...then britt,charli,michelle,bean and possibly my favorite cousin brianne will be here on the 17th for the play...and before you know it fall break is here and i will be going home. amazing isn't it. yeah. i am going to bed.
