meals on wheels!!!!

finally had the time and the motivation(?) to blog. i know i should have no excuses now not to blog, what with the coming of my "baby". but life is just so uneventful. why bother writing anything down? but my motivation this time is i'm looking for more reasons not to study for my midterms. . . hehe.

anyway, i actually did something interesting today. cgsa, the christian group i've been running with since i got here, volunteered for the meals-on-wheels program. basically, you take food to people who for one reason or another, aren't capable of leaving their homes to get food and groceries and stuff. so these are mostly old people who live alone. anyway, the group i was assigned to (christina, alisha and i) picked to go to this one highrise apartment building. the other route choices were neighborhoods and it's really hard to expect three girls, two of whom are not from columbus, to navigate the treacherous and often confusing roads of this city. anyway, it was pretty interesting because you actually see how most of these people live. it really made me thankful for how things are back home, with regards to the elderly. i mean, some of these people don't get visitors for days so those who deliver these meals are sometimes the first people they've talked to in a while. . . but it made me miss my lolas back home. . .

i really should be studying now. or napping. . . hmmmmm. . . decisions. . .
