is it worth waiting any longer?
i was looking back on my childhood and remembering times in elementary school. i miss how simplistic things were when you're young. the days when i'd look forward to fridays playing lazer tag at day care. or when i couldn't wait every month when in gym class we would play with the huge circlular rainbow parachutte that everyone would bounce a ball on or run undreneath. my biggest worry was if i would be able to sell the most girl scout cookies in my troop or get that solo in our school musical. i want to do arts and crafts and build snowforts at recess again. it's weird to look back at how you've eveloved since elementary school. today during sociology i was thinking back to some difficult things i went through with my family as a child, but the more i think about it, being a kid was great. no work, only play.
i'm glad my sociology professor is trying to get us involved in volunteer work. initially i wanted to volunteer at the YWCA and be a peer mentor for a junior high girl until a different organization grabbed my attention. starting in a couple weeks i will be volunteering at a center for children who are in a family going through a divorce. kids are there to have supervised visits from one of their parents they don't get to see very much and help eliminate being put in the middle of their parents' issues. not that growing up with divorced parents was as horrible as some family situations are in the world, but i know what it's like to be put in the middle. i want kids to have someone to talk to because i know that's all i wanted when i was younger.
some of my friendships seem to be getting stronger lately, while other ones are dwindling. i don't know how to feel about this.
i'm in a very odd mood. i'm not sad by any means, but it's not like i am energetic.
that is all. time to read something of interest like criminology and philosophy.
EDIT: P.S. freaks and geeks is such a good show. go buy it on dvd. bill is sexy.
