  • Volunteer 2.0

    Day went by as usual. Got up, got ready for school, then headed to the mall to buy a few things. I spent 50$ within half hour . See this is the reason why I don't lurk around the shopping centers. I don't know about you, but as a Poverty Stricken College Student or PSCS for short, any amount of money not saved is wayyyyy too much spent. There goes that money I made from my first ever paid treatment from yesterday! For some reason I just find everything I lay my eyes on a necessity until after I review my expenditure at the end of the day So I headed to school, finished my class then bummed around until it was time to leave for my next and final volunteer orientation.
    After a long 2 and something hours we were finally given a "sneak peak" of the exhibit. IT WAS AMAZING! because it relates to so much of what I am learning, every display was just so fascinating! So this is what I've been missing out on from the prosection labs! I couldn't get enough of anything and everything that was being showcased. I didn't realize how exhilarated I was until when I stepped out and realized that I've been holding my breath. It does make me wonder though, how would I have reacted if I wasn't as educated as I am now about the subject at hand? I try not to admit it, but I'm still giving myself crap, especially now, for not being confident enough to showcase what I know. It's too late now, but at least it's a lessoned learned.

    Another thing that I really appreciated is the fact that when I got my name tag, my second name is written on it as supposed to my first. Yes, this is actually a REALLY big deal for me as I have insecurity issues when it comes to my name. For some reason, just knowing that I don't have to be awkward and embarrassed about this aspect made me relax a little bit more.

    Over all this day has been awesome, I got to see a distant cousin (supposedly) and a family friend (Ate Sheena). Really I have got to stop at this being awkward thing. I should just approach people and be more approachable. It wasn't too bad or awkward talking to her at all. We dropped her off then I got to drive back home, then around again when we picked up mommy. So yeah, good day
