Screw It! Parts One and Two

PART ONE:
I got up this morning, had my yogurt smoothie, took my shower, got ready and went to class. By my third class this morning, my stomach was GROWLING. Yup, the liquid diet isn't cutting it. I came back to my room and decided to go get lunch. I got down to the cafeteria, took one look at the soups and said SCREW IT. They had pasta alfredo for lunch so I grabbed a LARGE container and stocked up. And guess what? It was freakin' AMAZING (once I let it cool down.)

PART TWO:
As part of my Medical Anthropology class, we are required to do a service learning project. I chose Big Brothers Big Sisters for my project. I would be set up with a child from the community to mentor. Well, I filled out my information at the end of August, had my interview in the beginning of September and have been playing phone tag with the coordinator and his secretary since then. I need to know the name of my little sib and I called the coordinator several times, and then his secretary who gave me his cell number. Well, he didn't answer that either and didn't return my call. I called the secretary back and she said she would contact him and get back to me. She got through to him and called me back and said I could just show up at the school for lunch whatever day was good for me and the coordinator would be there because he is there everyday. Umm, you couldn't tell me that TWO WEEKS AGO??!?!?? So, I went to the school today, stood around for 20 minutes, and guess what? THE COORDINATOR WASN'T THERE!!! ARGHHHH This is so frustrating! I have wanted to do this program since high school. However, the total lack of structure and ability to return a friggen phone call makes me want to just forget about it. If I weren't required to do this project for class, I would have said SCREW IT a loooooooooooong time ago.
