I have been busy again. I know, thats no excuse. I should make time for the things I promised to do. This blog was one of them. I told myself I would update it at least once a week, but lately things have been busy and crazy and I just haven’t even had a chance to think about what I would tell people reading this blog. Not to mention, my browser has been giving me a lot of trouble lately. It rarely loads things, and on those rare times it does its done in a painfully slow fashion that leaves me clenching my teeth and counting down the days until I move up North. I will finally have a broadband connection! I am excited! I will be able to sign up for Youtube and watch the videos!
Anyway, I have been working really hard. The other University Students have started, and I find myself worker harder then before to not be outshined. One of the University Students has been a volunteer at Sunrise 9 years now, and she seems to have all the answers and good ideas. For the most part, we get along great…but sometimes she gets on my nerves by acting a little superior. For instance, one of our job requirements is to go to local high schools to recruit volunteers. During one of the trips I was checking my phone to see what time it was because she wanted to know. I had to exit the text message my sister had sent me saying she would pick me up in order to do so, and she said “I would rather you didn’t do that while we are supposed to be working.” I asked simply told her I was checking the time and couldn’t do so if the “text message from Kate” screen was up, and she backed off a bit.
I honestly don’t think I could ever be in a drama free environment. My feathers are always being ruffled about something – I’m a sensitive person and I sometimes let things get to me when they shouldn’t. So I try not to approach things in that way.
Other then the occasional feather ruffle, work has been pretty good. We’ve gotten a lot accomplished. There is a lot of work that has to be done; such as taking all 50 odd bins down and cleaning out whats inside, setting up the tents to see if they work, recruiting volunteers and running the orientation this Tuesday, running a Fun Friday day program, and planning all the little details of camp.
I’m also hoping to take on another job. A woman from a town close to mine is looking for a worker for her son. From what I hear, he has slight brain damage from the car accident he was in when he was 6. He is 15 now and needs a worker 3 nights a week for 3 hours, I think it pays 15 bucks an hour. So that’s an extra $135 in my pocket. The only catch is that she wants someone who has a license and access to a car. My boss sent her an email saying I would be great for the job, but that I didn’t have a G2 or car. I suppose I’ll hear back on Monday with what she had to say to that.
My high school prom is this Friday. I pick up my dress tomorrow to see if the alternations we had made fit properly. My boyfriend, Neil, has already gotten his suit and I picked out a couple of ties that may or may not match my dress. I am supposed to pick up my prom tickets on Tuesday after my ultrasound appointment.
Oh yes, I forgot that I haven’t mentioned that. Well since my stomach has been acting up lately – on and off apparently – I finally decided to go to the doctors. He recommended taking some kind of anti acid and going to have an ultrasound done. But since I pretty much know whats wrong, I’ve stopped taking the questionable medicine that made me pass out at work almost. Remember now, I hate medication that makes me feel different in a bad way, so I will refuse to take it. I don’t care if he said I had to try it for however many days.
Well I wish I could continue updating but I had no idea so much has happened since the 12 of May, and I must continue tomorrow as I really need some sleep. I promise to give my few readers out there more!
