So yes, we didn’t actually meet with our group on this day, seeing how it was a holiday and all.<\/p>\n

I did however get a phone call from our site manager.<\/p>\n

To begin, this wasn’t actually on Thanksgiving, it was the day before.<\/p>\n

But that’s only important so when I start by explaining that I got the call in the middle of eating lunch in my favorite sushi restaurant you don’t think I’m some sort of freak who eats sushi for Thanksgiving.<\/p>\n

No offense.<\/p>\n

Anyway, so I’m in the middle of lunch when my phone rings, and it was reflex more than anything that caused me to pick up my phone in the middle of a restaurant for an unknown number.<\/p>\n

Turns out it was good that I did though since the caller turned out to be our site supervisor.<\/p>\n

Although she framed it as a “just checking in call” and did in fact ask specifically about one of our students, it was ultimately a “are you planning on volunteering again with us next semester” call.<\/p>\n

I did my best to explain how the class worked, it being a volunteer component specific to a class and all that, but ultimately pulled the “but you can always get more information from my own supervisor though” card.<\/p>\n

Sorry Dr. Soderlund.<\/p>\n

What made me bring it up, and by extension blog about it, was two things. 1, I am REALLY skeptical about whether we’ll be getting any permission slips back for our students, although our site supervisor did say she sent them home, and 2, I feel really guilty that I’m not going back next semester.<\/p>\n

Not enough to actually go back though, so maybe I don’t feel as guilty as I good, but despite the struggles with the project, I have really enjoyed working with our students and hope that they are able to find another activity next semester.<\/p>\n

I’m not really sure to do with a type of guilt that makes you feel bad, but not bad enough to actually do anything about it though.<\/p>\n

I wonder if there’s a Shakespeare play for that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
