coffee and the elderly.

i volunteered at lindenwood terrace today for the first time.
woke up at 830. showered.
pulled my hair back. threw on black dress pants.
tore apart my room for my sma polo shirt
and threw on my black hightops-my only closed toe black shoes.
i walked over there for my first shift.
i was greeted by a creepy little asian man.
he showed me my name tag.
so cool. its like...a mini magnetic plaque i can wear.
i love name tags.
he then left me with the kitchen staff, who were so nice.
i filled up water jugs and placed them on the table first.
then i was taught how to serve various drinks.
i did that as well as clear tables for two hours.
the servers were fantastic.
they answered all questions i had no problem, even if they were busy.
one of the servers thinks im adorable because im so ignorant ;p
anyways, there were these two old ladies i admired.
they sat slightly off centre of the room
and they arrived not too early, but they still beat the lunch rush.
they sat there for the whole time, eating and whatnot
then they just sipped their coffee for an hour or so.
so cute, they were like , best friends.
there were also these ladies i was giving tea to
and they told me that they were twins.
they were awesome.
the fact that theyve stayed together for so long and in the same place?
well i guess family is everything to some people.
it was a fantastic experience.
im volunteering at an event tommorow at ass park-
which is ganna be off the hook.
i get to wear a name tag, chill at the park, and escort old people
all after being on a bus.
could that day be any better? im excited for it.
oh, and i was talking to one of the ladies there
and she said i should stick around all year, because the sphs guys tend to come in for their volunteer hours.
met me for a few hours and already knew what i liked.
