Why? Because I am going to Arizona for a week long service trip at a homeless shelter with 6 other wonderful people. We are leaving our phones and any kind of technology behind. I have been waiting for this since last semester. Now that is a week away I am starting to feel anxious. I am not sure if its because of school work, or the fact that I sometimes go into an unknown state of depression. I don't know.
I am also required to make a journal for Kia, and I have so many ideas for it but not much time. I hope she likes it. I already have the pictures I am going to use to personalize her journal.
Over the past few months I have gotten close to the six other people. After the movie night at Leahna's house, after the fundraisers, after the brunch dates, and volunteer events, and weekly meetings, I have gotten to know so much of them. It makes me happy.
I also hear rumors that we might go to the Grand Canyon??? But I don't want to rely on that. As our motto goes "Participate Don't Anticipate" I don't want to only look forward to that. I want to look forward to meeting new people. I want to look forward to actually help in any small way I can to the homeless. I want to gain a new perspective on this issue.
