Volunteering & Volunteer Students

Today I have 2 meetings scheduled.  All I do is go from meeting to meeting every freaking day and today I'm feeling uber-lazy and resentful about the fact that I have to get dressed before 3pm on a Sunday.

The first meeting is with a broker at a new apartment complex.  The place is suppose to be really nice - definitely an upgrade from where I'm at now (tiny hallway studio apartment) but there are definitely a lot of downsides...First, I'll be living with someone again.  This someone is a really good friend and we actually lived together 2 years ago on the Upper East Side.  It wasn't bad but we weren't really close and did have a couple significant arguments.  Second, it is actually pretty inconvenient location.  Its near a lot of cool restaurants/bars/nightlife, but far from all trains.  I'd have to walk at least 3 or 4 avenues to the closest subway or take a bus everyday.  The main and only plus of my current apartment is how convenient it is.  I am close to nearly every subway line and can get anywhere in the city in about a half hour.  I knew going in that I HATE commuting more than I can say...so its a really big deal actually.  I'll see how it goes today.  I can be wooed pretty easily if the apartment is nice and as big as everyone says and its doable commuting wise.

Side note: Hotlips is getting a Vespa, and I was totally wooed there yesterday.  If I moved to this new inconvenient spot, it would totally make sense for me to get a scooter.  They are SO CUTE. and reasonably affordable. and I'll feel like a total badass with a motorcycle license (which means I could get one in the future).

The other meeting is to start volunteering at this homeless shelter.  This one I'm really excited about.  You know how everyone has lists of things they want to do before they die?  Well I'm really cool and staying in a homeless shelter has been on my list for a long time.  I always thought I'd just do it one night but I felt bad and sort of scared for using the system when I have a warm little home that I pay for...so now I will have shifts of all night volunteering at these places and get a similar experience.  I just want to see first hand everything.

Sidenote: I was really excited and telling my mom about the volunteering and she was angry that I was spending my time "on all this...how was I going to find a man?"  Thanks mom.

PS.  I'm really bad at titles, tagging and categories... I've gotten really lazy at posting. All I want it to journal my thoughts whenever I get a chance.  When I spend all this time editing and making it coherent and easily categorized, I lose all my motivation.  So sorry about that.
