Okay, let's go, NOW

Post for Thursday 8/11/11
We learned about some killer tutoring skills today and more importantly I had an important moment with the television. hahah.
My room mates and I were vegging out on the carpeted floor watching 'So You Think You Can Dance'. We were all super exhausted and just hanging out after a super long day of work and after I had gone for a nice afternoon swim.
There was a commercial break and suddenly an image of a child with a cleft lip sprung across the screen...
I decided then and there that whatever this commercial was going to ask me, I was going to immediately do it. I watch enough commercials about tragic topics that don't affect me, and I wanted to help! This time I would not succumb to a cold heart. A couple more images flashed across the screen, sad injured children, suddenly being cured.
Then suddenly a sign flashed across the screen in big red letters-
CHILDREN'S MIRACLE DAY, HAPPENING AUGUST 11 AT A DAIRY QUEEN NEAR YOU, COME OUT NOW AND SUPPORT CHILDREN.

Immediately all three of us made eye contact, said "Let's go". In less than ten seconds, we were out the door and on our way to the car.
It was so impulsive and the fastest I've ever been able to get out of the door to get to anything.
This impulsive, exhausted, super fun moment was exactly the moment that summed up my day.
Let us hear it for limited responsibility!

Daily hero: The women behind the women's rights movement, without them I'd probably be married off at this point with probably at least several children. Instead I can participate in amazing programs such as CY and be able to have amazing spontaneous room mate adventures with no responsibility and cares in the world.
