I decided to volunteer right after graduation – does this count as volunteering regularly? I’ve contacted several organizations and am now involved in several projects. I’m learning so much and I forsee I will learn so much more during my time here. Right now, I’m still getting the planning done – and it has been very rough since my contacts don’t always respond right away. However, I’ve met some very interesting and motivated people who want to make a difference in this country during the process. I feel like it’s been information overload for me right now – and there are so many organizations that are asking for help, that I feel like I may have spread myself too thin. I hope I can experience the feeling fulfillment soon. Right now it has just been a bit tiring. But I feel like I can push myself to do more :) It’s kind of weird and cool. I’m making it on my own here on my savings. I wish I had reimbursements for commuting. But right now, I’m just really excited to start!

Since I’m away from home and my friends, I really miss having someone to talk to and confide in. I really need to confide in my friends later this week – when we have our get together Friday.

I really think that the help from my philosophy teacher will help me a lot next semester. I’m supposed to meet with him to talk about my depression and he will refer me to someone. I think this will help me to admit to my teachers about my condition, and help me to try harder. This semester I managed to pull up my grades and get Bs and As instead of Cs or B-s. I am really excited for next semester, knowing that I can really succeed!

I’ve realized that I just need to be able to be honest with my mom. Then I won’t feel so guilty about going out. If I’m honest to her about the work that I do, she will know that I am honestly trying to do my best.

I think I’m doing well with my blogger account. I’ve started up again. The process of updating it often is motivating me to learn html.
