can't say i didn't try...

went to the red cross, got redirected to a place close to la jolla...went to the orientation, only to find out that they were completely booked solid...which is a very good thing...this shows me that the people are willing to help each other here...unlike my days in L.A. where everyone just has that "if it ain't my shit, i'm not worried about it" attitude during the riots...i remember it took Edward James Olmos himself to pick up a broom and start cleaning L.A. my father and i applauded his efforts...i had to work today...apparently i really am concidered "essential personnel"...i was feeling very headachy, tired, and dehydrated...a couple of my coworkers had to evacuate...and because the team is so small, it hits close to home...i had to check up on both of them, they are ok and very fortunate to still have a home standing...for now at least, and hopefully for good...in the meantime, i continue my work as an unofficial class leader and keep my classmates informed...at first i thought i was suddenly a phone operator, until my leadership traits took over and directed traffic instead of dealing with all of them individually...
