So I haven't been updating recently....SORRY! It's been a busy month! But here are some of the nice things I've done for people so far this month:
3. Helped a lady at Olive Garden With her dropped boxes.
So, A few of us went to Olive Garden for lunch last Saturday. It was a windy, October day just like it really has been lately (Mother Nature is doing her job this year). When we were leaving, one of the workers was carrying out a bunch of boxes to the dumpster when a wind hit her and she dropped most of them. Jasmin and I helped her get them back into her hands so that she could go on her merry way since she had others in her hand that she didn't drop...and would have dropped them if she bent down. With a quick smile, and a thank you, I made her day a bit easier.
4. Donated to a Children's Hospital.
After Olive Garden, we went to Spirit of Halloween to get our costumes for this years upcoming halloween events. After looking around the store, finding what I needed, we checked out. At the register, the lady asked if I wanted to donate $1 to a local children's hospital. Of course I did, it was just a dollar, but adding my name to that wall with others who also pledged the same...made me feel pretty good. Tanisha and Abijah also donated with me!
5. Held the door for everyone that needed it one day.
On Monday, I spent a few extra seconds holding the door for people around campus. It's not a big thing, but people really do appreciate it. Plus, I got to share a smile with people on a Monday...which we all know aren't everyone's favorite days!
6. Gave one of my residents a piece of pie for his birthday.
One of my residents of my floor had his birthday this week. On Monday, I went shopping for food and such and grabbed a caramel apple pie from meijer (because I wanted to give it a try of course!). I remembered it was his birthday, so when I sliced it, I grabbed a paper plate and took him a piece too. He was thrilled and thoroughly enjoyed it.
7. Brightened one of my coworker's day
One of my coworkers was having a bad day yesterday, poor thing. So I gave her my ear and some pudding and helped her feel better. All in a good days work!

One of those days...
Today is one of those days. One of those days when everything just seems to be "annoying" to you.
First there was the fact that I had to get up. BLAH! I am still so tired from the weekend and my stint of volunteering at the animal shelter yesterday (it was great fun but HARD work!). I didn't even want to get out of bed this morning, but I did (and somehow I was earlier than normal getting to class)
There is the fact that, after 3 hours of bowling on Sunday night, my right thumb is swollen to twice it's normal size. I can still bend it so it isn't broken or sprained, it just hurts. Thats annoying....
Then there was this girl in class. The professor was talking about an extra credit assignment and how we have to print out the confirmation page after we did the study. She raises her hand and says that "do we have to have a printer? I don't have one at home." Then he assured her that she would need a printer.
"But I don't have a printer at home, is there some way..."
"You need a printer"
"No I don't have a printer, so is there anyway you can save the page to print out later?"
"Not that I know of. You need to do it on a computer with a printer."
"But I don't have a printer at home."
"Well find somewhere else to do it."
"Can you still do it and since I can't print it out, do the other assignment for extra credit?"
"Of course."
And I sat there and was like, a) the school has computers, b) the school has printers and c) the school gives you over 200 pages for free each semester. I'm pretty sure you can find 30 mins of time to go downstairs to the computer lab, do the study, print off the page and turn it in within the next week. I mean COME ON! We don't care that you don't have a printer at home and we hate the fact that you wasted 10 minutes of class on a subject that we don't care about.
It just annoyed me.
