For the Love of the Community!

Wow, other than the awful CFU in Engineering Lab today, my day was pretty damn awesome! Tonight was so exciting. I went with one of my team members over to the Habitat for Humanity meeting. He has done it before, and I've always wanted to. We were like 40 minutes early so we just sat and talked for a while. When we went in and sat down, I suddenly got really happy. I'm one of those people who loves community service projects in every way, shape, and form. Pizza was offered, and everyone got up to get some. It was then that I saw one of the girls that I went to Girls State with before my senior year! We were so excited to see each other. Even though Girls State was by chance the worst week of my life, I still love all the girls who were in my city. Most of us got really close and had a lot of fun. As long as we weren't doing the required activities, we were smiling, laughing, and having a great time. I remember staying up until like 2 almost every night even though we had to be at breakfast by like 7. We would just stay up and eat and chat. Back to the present, when we started walking back to the dorms, we saw a squirrel. At the same time, we said, "I love squirrels." It was so random but funny because we hadn't seen each other in over a year and could still laugh like we did that week. I love seeing people that I met through activities like HOBY and Girls State because I usually know that they are nice and down to earth. But yeah, community service almost gives me a high it makes me so happy. I don't know exactly why, but I'm sure some of it has to do with the fact that every community service experience that I've had has been loads of fun!
