Well, today I really don't have too much to gripe about.

The weather is fine, no one has personally offended me by saying something on the news, my back yard is super clean now...

So, not much to gripe about. I guess this will be a "me" post.

Tomorrow, I will be going in for my (hour fucking long) interview, to volunteer for the Big Brothers, Big Sisters group. I basically make friends with a disadvantaged kid they pair me up with. I'm also going to be volunteering for the Dressed for Success group, where women who are too poor to buy themselves a nice suit for a job interview, are given a couple of nice outfits, interview skills and some shoes. I'am also planning on volunteering to help tutor kids in English at a poor school. I managed to graduate English in grade 12 one of the top of my grade, so I figure I can help out.

So, I guess you think I'm a good person for helping out and volunteering. Well, I guess I am in some ways. But my main reason to start volunteering now, is because the completion of my degree requires me to clock 400 hours of volunteer work, helping out people. Also, it gives me some great references to actually get me a paid job. However, Big Brothers and Big Sisters is something I'm passionate about... thats about the kid I'll be friends with, not just the hours and super duper references.

Meh. Hopefully I'll be able to make friends. I love living with my boyfriend, but it's nice to have people over.

    Big Brothers and Big Sisters is something I've always wanted to volunteer for.

    And I don't need volunteer hours for anything, I just remember that feeling of confusion and insecurity in my younger years - I'd like to be there to help a kid get through that because I didn't have anyone myself.

    I'm sure you'll enjoy your service more than you think. It's happened to me when I've done volunteer work before.

    Yikes! 400 hours? That's a lot of volunteering. I don't think I could do something like that, but it works for others. I'll admit there's always a bit of fun in teaching someone how to do something.
