Where's Anha!

     Life at the shelter can be hard, because there is constantly something going on and someone who needs you. I try not to tell people how hard it is, becuase I love it there despite the trouble I deal with on certain days. There are residents that drive me crazy and children that are completely out of control. There are also days when I eat some much chocolate, because of some of the things I see and hear suring the day. Even with all the crazy things I see and hear, I still wouldn't tade jobs with anyone.  yes, this job and hard and not everyone can handle it. right now there is a volunteer here who seems to not beable to cope with the stress of a regular day and honestly I don't blame her. I love this place and Kentucky, but I know for sure I would die from stress if I stayed with the shelter for another year.

127 Hours

I started my day with pancakes, trying to get a hold of my father and watching 127 hours. Sadly, I cannot stomach watching a movie where a man cuts off his own arm. So instead I continued playing phone tag with my father and start packing for my Kansas City/ Saint Louis trip. I'm nervous and very excited for a extended trip, because I have never traveled alone in awhile and never to see so many people that I love and enjoy seeing. As I was packing some girls from other volunteer houses came over and asked if I wanted to go hiking. I wanted to workout earlier, but it was wet and gross outside, but hiking sounded good. We went to the Pinniacles again and it was worth the mug covered jeans and missing my father's attempt to reach me. Not that talking to my dad is a bad thing, but today we actually saw buzzards up close and personal when we were on the mountains. They were so close I actually was able to look one in the eye and there were about five of them circling the tip of the mountain.  It was amazing.
