I went to the food pantry on the Monday before the Tuesday I was to leave. It was good. We went to an old church and went into a back room where a round woman sat in a desk room chatting away with other people and calling out numbers. "Number 99!" She was calling the families up. My group and I were making up bags that were to include: 2 stuffings, 1 mash potatos, 2 vegetable cans, 1 fruit can, one gravy can and one cranberry sauce can. We eventually ran out of supplies and setteled for random food like: jello, cake, and many different types of soup. It was a rewarding experience. I like to do stuff like that. I feel like I'm doing something useful for a change. And what better way to feel useful than to help others? They said they were going to try to do the food pantry sessions, weekly next semester. Good.
I had a great time while I was home. Got to see my loves. It was so much fun and so good. I'm looking forward to going home to be with them again. Kara and I babysat for Susi two nights in a row. That was good because I got to spend time with her (in a weird way) and we got paid a lot which was a bonus. Liza and James were as great as ever. James asked me if I had a girlfriend and called me a little Devil. lol.
I wrote my essay from 12 to 5 in the morning. 7 pages. That's not too bad for me. It didn't come out terrible. There was great improvement in my writing. Also, it renewed my love for English temporarily. Of course I have an 8-10 paged paper due tomorrow at 2:30. I am less prepared for that. It too is a draft so I can go easy with that. Fix it later.
John picked me up from the train station. It was REALLY good to see him. Then we went out to dinner last night at TGIF's. I tried this pasta dish. Too buttery. I think I will stick to my chicken fingers lol.
I feel refreshed from over break. Meaning I was out a lot over the break with friends. I dunno, it's easier to be anti-social here than at home because I am past that. I've going to go out more. It will be a wee bit tricky though due to that fact that ENG 350 wants to kill me. I will still try though.
"and i know you take the good and all the bad that comes with me."
