so these past few weeks i have been thinking alot about the future: graduation, getting a job, going back to ryla, the scholarship ... sometimes very preocupiedly so.

just now it kind of dawned on me that maybe i shouldn't be so focused on what will come, for i may trip myself up now.

but then again, i kinda do need to be thinking about the future: essay ideas for the scholarship; if i don't find work in LA - start looking elsewhere; getting to/from ryla since it starts same day as graduation.

so i guess in the end, i'm doing alrite, just need a blance of now and later.

my thoughts about going to the homeless shelter last month:

I had no idea what to expect before going to the shelter, the only thing I knew was that I would be there for the majority of my weekend, and now that it's over, I wish I had gone sooner. Life is not fair, and for the people of the shelter, life had delt them a large dosage of unfairness. Having to be dressed and ready to serve food at 6am is not the easiest of tasks. but knowing that I could make a difference more than made up for it. The heartfelt thank yous in the eyes of the women as we fed them and their children and playing with the kids who got more attention from us than they expect from their own families almost made me cry while the indignant grunts of the men when we couldn't give them enough food put things in perspective - a realization of how lucky I am and that how far too often society forgets the people that need help the most.
