Community Service

I know it sounds like I was arrested and this was my punishment but I wasn't. It's actually a requirement for a class I was told I had to take. I had to wake up at 8 a.m which is an ungodly hour on a Saturday or any other day for that matter. After stumbling around for a half hour and somehow magically getting dressed I went to the third floor and got my friend Jessie. We then made our way slowly to where we were supposed to meet everyone else. Might I add it was freezing this morning. They gave us breakfast which consisted of donuts, juice and bagels. Which is fine I love donuts and bagels as much as the next girl I just couldn't get passed the fact I was up before noon on a Saturday. The good thing was that Jessie and I were sent to the same place, it would have been kind of akward to ride in a car full of strangers and then spend all afternoon with them having never seen them before. The place we went was basically a shelter for young single moms that couldn't afford to live anywhere else. It was a very nice place. Our job was to basically wipe the walls down with ammonia and water. It wasn't hard and it didn't take us that long. The only problem was that the girls that lived there knew we were coming and they didn't clean their apartments at all. They were suppossed to because 2 of them were in the process of moving out but they didn't. Let's just say I saw some unsanitary things. No big deal. Anyway, we got done earlier than what we were supposed to and headed back to campus. I honestly wouldn't mind doing it again.
