So I just got back from the place where I'm going to volunteer in over the summer for the scholarship I'm working towards. It's a home for elderly people with Alzheimer's. One of my friends set it up so she, her sister, and my sister and I can volunteer for a couple hours a few days a week during summer.
I know this sounds terrible, but I really DID NOT want to volunteer at a place like that because to me it's depressing as hell. I was hoping for like, the library around here, but the mother who was supposed to drive another friend and I there for our hours never got around to actually AGREEING and setting things up because she's completely unreliable and akfjffff. The woman who was signing our forms and stuff at the retirement home showed us this video on dementia and Alzheimer's, and it's just....it makes me feel really sad. I know it's like, character building, but...sigh. At least I don't have to start until school ends.
I'm going to apply for a job at Publix sometime this week or next week, too. How am I supposed to handle this and community service at the same time!? My mom's making me do both. I won't have any fun this summer. Working does seem better than volunteering, because it's just systematic bagging and stuff and I'll get paid. Money is good. I do like new books.
School's starting to be really boring and really tense at the same time. It's just review review review for our exams, and in AP everything just ends after this week because our exam is Thursday. We do get to watch Schindler's List next week, which is a very good movie. I'm kind of not wanting school to end, though, because I have so much crap to do this summer. Sigh.
Oh, has anyone seen Star Trek yet? I'm so pissed, I wanted to go see it but all of my friends saw it without me. I wanna go soon! How was it?
