OMG RANT!!!!! not really
14 years ago
General
Well it's not really a rant, it's more of a "Ah man this sucks"
I came back from a trip that I chapperoned for called Aquire the Fire (if you never been there, trust me, it's awesome).
So I'm invited to see a meeting about a leadership seminar, and I thought "hey, that sounds kinda cool *looks at the price* 120 bucks....uh...no thanks" (though the 120 covers everything)
But then the speaker does the drawing to give 2 free admission to go, and I got one of them. Wow, pretty neat.
"But wait," you ask "how is this a rant?" well....I'm getting to it.
I see oppurtunity to go out of the country and help others in need (feeding the poor and homeless or building homes for the homeless) but the price....whoooo....pricey (ranges from 600-5k dollars). At first I thought, maybe I could go around and ask for donations from rl people and such, then I thought "No, makes me too needy, and I wanna earn it myself." I've seen people ask for donations on here, mostly for a good reason, so I never even had a thought of asking.
When I got home, my brother was on the couch, wheezing like crazy and sick, so I had to take him to the hospital (the doctors wasn't open on sunday and it was pretty critical). Thankfully he had insurance and I only had to pay around 30 to 40 bucks.
At this rate with bills and lack of hours at work, i don't think i'll be going anywhere this year......bummer.
