What I’ve Done this week.

This week I did a lot of things  I prepared and presented my vocabulary presentation which went a lot better than I thought it would.  I also read a lot in the book Dracula.  Some of this reading took place at school, and a lot took place at home.  I’m currently on page 67.   Me and my social action group got together and did most of the social action plan together.  I also started taking some notes on Bram Stoker. 

Changes

I think one cause I could pursue is helping the poor.  I know there are not a lot of homeless people wondering around the valley, but there are a lot of people that could use our help.  Associated Charities is a good organization.  I think it would be great if more people would donate food items to them all year round, and not just around the holidays.  People could volunteer to go door to door each week.  They would stake out on a different part of town every week in order not to frustrate the home owners.

Another good thing to do would be to spend time with the elderly.  You know it is not a lot of fun sitting around all day without anything to do.  I think a good project to do would be to go to nursing homes and even to elderly known to be alone throughout the community.  You could bring board games, or just chit-chat about stuff.  They could tell you stories of the good old days, and you could tell them about your life. 

Checkin

One thing that is going well for me is that I finally picked up the book Dracula and started to read it.  It isn’t too much but it’s a start.  This is pretty good for me considering almost everything I do is last minute.  One of my main struggles is actually being in class.  I am always going to ambulance calls and I find it hard to turn off my pager.  I have also been sick a few days, and missed for the blood drive.  I actually don’t have any burning questions right now.  I think the only way I can get help at this time would be to come in after school. 

It’s going ok…

My assingment is going good in a few ways.  I have found valuble sources that gave me a lot of information on Bram Stoker.  I am struggling with actually taking notes on these sources.  I am also surprised on how much I put off reading the book Dracula.  It sounds interesting and all, but I am not too big of a reader.  The only question I have is if Stoker’s first name is actually Bram, or Abraham. 

Hello world!

Hello everyone, how’s it going?  This is my first entry so…yeah.  There ya go.
