Next week, I am planning to go to the Humane Society with a few of my friends to help out with the animals!  I have known one of my pledge sisters since high school.  I remember her volunteering at different places for animals throughout high school, so I am comfortable with working with her.  I am unsure if it was a humane society or another organization, but she said it was a really fun time regardless.  She said they were able to walk the dogs and play with them outside!  I have been expecting to do some of the less fun tasks like cleaning up animal waste.  She said they did have to do some of that, but they had fun for the most part.  I am really looking forward to giving back to the community.  I’m sure I’m going to want to take the animals home!  Unfortunately, dorms and sororities don’t let dogs in, and I don’t think my parents are up for picking up another family member. 

In addition to working at the humane society, I am going to have to figure out something else to work as a supplement for the extra time.  I am hoping a great and convenient opportunity comes my way!  Hopefully there will be something on a weekend that can knock out a good chunk.  I am all for serving people and I think it is a great thing to do, but it is hard to fit it in with school and activities!
