Gah. Been so busy.
 

I was basically at my school for 14hrs yesterday.

Was there for 7hrs today. On my feet for most of it too.

I'm so tired. z.z

Volunteering?

Yeah.

Last night there was a silent auction and today there was like lectures happening. I had to help set up.. escort people upstairs.. serve people drinks and help clean up. x.x

I was sort of guilt tripped into it for yesterday and today.

Today, my step-dad came back and was like. "Liz, I have a friend for you." and the secretary walked into my room and said they needed me at the school. I was kind of like, "Ehh." but then my step-dad said, "Your mom and I will pay for the painting. All of it." so I went.

So it wasn't exactly volunteering, in the strictest sense of the word.

I got community service hours for it though ;D

So it was doubly not-volunteering, since you got two tangible rewards from it, heh.

Well.. how else do you get community service hours without volunteering? o-o

When you volunteer, it generally means to give of your time/effort/money without payment or tangible benefit. Since you are apparently required to perform community service hours (did you knock over a liquor store?), fulfilling that obligation is not volunteering. If, after you have completed your mandated hours, you continue working with some sort of volunteering organization, then you will be volunteering.

I say tangible benefit, because quite frequently some people will say they get a sense of satisfaction from volunteering, which may be beneficial, but it isn't tangible.

^Ehh.

And I did have some fun doing it so I was happy I did it.

I just don't like being so tired. && I totally need a foot massage 8D

I stood up for 13 hours when I went to the Iron Maiden concert. But that was for something I liked, LOL. Not sure if I could do that in school.
