Test 5


Made an A!!!! Yippee! One week left and then Christmas Break!!! :D I'm on my way...

Hey, where did everybody go???


There are a few blogs I 'stalk' regularly. Friends of mine from across the country or people who are living lives I find fascinating. I love to pop in on their blogs, check out new pics or posts and basically just live vicariously through them. However...when they don't update their blogs how can I vicariously live????
:)
I kid, you guys. I know you all have lives outside of Blogland (why else would I stalk your blogs?) and I know the holidays are upon us, but really...what do you expect me to do? Play on FB? I think not. So, and you know who you are, my challenge to you is to post something...anything before the end of my 3rd semester (which is next Monday!!!) Please...I miss my voyeuristic fun. :P

Christmas Favor


I have a little holiday request...everyone thinks of 'spring' cleaning, but what about 'winter' cleaning? If you go through your closets and find sweaters, clothes, jackets, blankets, shoes, etc. that you haven't used/worn in a while, maybe think of donating those to your local community kitchen. During our Psych rotation we visited the Chattanooga Community Kitchen. They are providing an amazing service to those in need. Not only do they supply nourishing meals during the day, but they have a foot care clinic, showers and lockers (for stashing your belongings so you can go on a job interview), resume, computer and skill classes, fun things for kids to do, etc. So maybe while you're fishing out all of those Christmas decorations, if you come across some things someone else might be able to use, toss them in a box/bag and deliver them to your local community kitchen/shelter.
Don't forget about leisure time, too...if you have books, magazines, games, cards, whatever collecting dust, they can use those too! Our local kitchen provides Christmas/Santa to the children who are without and also stockings to the adults (new socks, underwear, toiletries, t-shirts, etc.) Just an idea...feels good to clean out closets, too! Helps you, helps them. It's a win-win!
