Well I've certainly missed writing just for pleasure. I can't say how fast this semester has gone in school and how close we are to the end of it. Spring flew by so fast but I can't complain really, except for the fact that I wish we had more time to work on my grades or at least opportunities. I haven't done much but school and work but I've done several interesting things along the way. I'd say they are small but none the less good things.
Not too long ago I went to volunteer for Race for the Cure and it was amazing! I didn't run the race this year but even just watching people come out and support a great cause. Some people were running for a loved one that passed away but others were running or walking for someone who survived. I went to the event with some coworkers of mine but it was as if it was just friends since we were separated from the group.
I also volunteered with the Food Bank and I can't say how shocked I was at how much food is thrown away. They pulled out crates of food and we sorted through all of them and threw out the majority of it for reasons like, it wasn't packaged correctly, it didn't have an expiration date, or just the bag was not sealed properly. I suppose it all makes sense because we don't want people to die but all the food we threw out we could have cooked and given out to the poor. It was a really great experience though and I wouldn't change it for the world.
Also for my winter holidays, I went to visit some family in Mexico. At first I was a little resilient on going but I think that it was the best idea I've had in a long time. I enjoyed being with my family and all my aunts, uncles, and cousins. I actually grew closer with my family which had been a while since I felt that way. I ate a lot of food and I will probably make a separate post on that because of how much I ate. I do have some pictures of the places I went to. I can't wait to go back for another mini holiday.
