join an organization

but its worth it, keep on fightin for your rights and all that shizzle

I joined The Wilderness Society a while ago. Also Diabetes Australia. At uni I must have joined about 30 different clubs and societies that I’ve forgotten about.

So, I came to college, and I have never been religous at all in my life. However, I made this friend who is Jewish, and he is really into the Jewish going ons on campus. Through him I have met so many Jewish people that are all really cool, and it has just kind of exposed me to this thing that I never would have thought would be such a big part of my life. I also think it’s interesting because I do feel like I am fairly involved in the religion without knowing very much about it. But as I spend more time around it and these people I am becoming somewhat familiar with it. I think it’s an interesting thing, and I kind of think it’s a wonderful way to be exposed to a religion. Not so structured and constricted but just being aware of the holidays and things that they do, and hearing the stories and meanings behind them in a natural way that I can relate to. I kind of like it.

I don’t know what kind of organization I want to join. I feel like I want to do something that makes me feel good. Obviously. But, I was looking at a website and it had all of these protect the environment types of things but they seem like they’re all just picking up trash which i feel like wouldn’t be highly fulfilling. Then, there is working with people I guess. I’m kind of shy around people I think. I need ideas. I sort of feel like the big general save the world kinds of things always dicourage me because i feel like they’re so vague and never really accomplish very much. I know, I’m being negative.. I want to do something that I can see an end result. I want to meet other people, and I want it to be something that’s long term so I can really get into it. I don’t really know what it is right now though…

This was my weekend deadline. All I had to do was look into it. I decided during the week that I no longer wanted to do this, but here I am, Sunday afternoon/evening, and I wish I would have done it. I think it might be a weekend thing. I get too bored. I need something to fill my time that I enjoy. I get to the point where I don’t even enjoy hanging out with my friends anymore, because I do it just too often. All I have to do it look into it. I’m moving my deadline back to next Thursday. Regardless of if I want to do it or not at that particular time. Just do it.

So, my plans that I have developed (and discussed in under the goal of developing my plans) suggest I do this. So, it’s my new goal. My deadline to look into organizations I would like to join is next Sunday. This may seem like a long time, but I don’t want to make the task too daunting. Or else I know I will fail. I am starting by checking things online, and I will hpoefully at some point stop by the EMU becasue I’m sure they have information about things like that. So, here we go…
