Without any further ado, I was informed that I have to partake in Community Service. No no it was not a drunken escapade gone wrong, but the result of me signing up for a Humanities Class. It's not a big deal or anything, only ten hours by the end of April. I used to do community service all time when I was in highschool and even through my first year of college. But unfortunately now, it cannot be anything of my choosing. It has to be something that requires a lot of dealing with people and cannot be clerical work, hospital stuff, doing things behind a desk, etc.
Working with people is not an issue but I just kind of want to get in and out of there. Because it cannot be a 'business type' environment where I can use that time to put on my resume as an internship opportunity, I am slightly at a loss as to what I should put my foot towards.
So she honestly recommended something like the Big Brother/Big Sister program. How irresponsible could she be? When one makes a commitment like that, it is supposed to be something will last for years because one is trying to make an impression on that child's life and at the same time try to fill a void. So to say that we should just burn 10 hours on that, will just be a waste of time for me and almost like a teaser for the kid. So I am thinking possibly volunteering in the soup kitchen. I used to record for the blind and dyslexic in high school but as aforementioned that does not count since its just me with a tape player. If not the soup kitchen I will figure something else out. I have till the 9th to let her know.
My other classes are okay. They are as follows:
Monday / Wednesday -- Stats II 8am - 9:15
Personal Finance (Similar to Consumer Ec in HS) 9:30 - 10:45
Advanced Managerial Finance 11-12:15
Break between 12:15 - 3 which I use to either hang out with people, go eat something, or just go sleep for a couple hours.
Cost Accounting (Accounting 3, part of double major) - 3 - 4:15
Tuesday/Thursday -- Humanities (Required to graduate) 1:30 - 2:45
International Business (Part of Minor) 3 - 4:15
Lately I've also been obsessed with trying a lot of local pizza joints. As a Chicagoan I believe we should know a decent amount of pizza/hotdog places. I mean in terms of food what else are we known for? Nebraska has their corn and Idaho has their potatoes, am I right?
So I tried the Aurelio's by the DMV on 75th a few weeks ago, had a few different versions of Old Town which is around 59 and 87th, and today I brought home some Pieroni's which is located on Modaff and 87th.
But needless to say since one of my resolutions for this year was to cut my 'eating-out' down to 2-4 times a week, this definitely is not helping my cause.
I have not watched any new movies lately after watching Eastern Provinces (with Viggo Mortensen), The Lovely Bones, Master Ip, Up In the Air and some of This Is It in a one week span.
Why have I toned it down? Because of school, all you ladies and jellyworms.
And the Australian Open hah
Anyone else watching it?
TOnight we have Roddick vs Cilic and Murray vs Nadal.
Im thinking Roddick and Murray both gut it out in 5 sets, but Im hoping the other two win.
By the wayyyy me and the Siddiqi brothers got into a heated debate about the fact that women get equal pay now at the grandslams. What do you guys think? Fair or not? Spin the wheel and let me know =]
Did you ever think about the fact that she might have suggessted that because she sees potential in you to stay with that kid and do it for longer than 10 hours. You should think about it... like it will give you something really great to do. Those kids really do do a good influence in their lives. You can be honest with them and what not and that would be helpful.
ReplyDeleteAnd good luck with the local pizza mission.

Yes I have thought about it and considering I am still in college, do not have a job, etc, do not wish not spend my weekends with an inner city youth just yet. Maybe if im 35.
ReplyDeleteWhy dont you become one? You could rub off on the kid.
