Saturday

I had to wake up at 8 Saturday morning. I was not a happy camper because I like to sleep in until at least 12 on Saturdays. But I didn't have a choice because I was going to a street weep for Beta Club at Apollo. It was freezing cold that morning and no one acted like they wanted to be there. We were given gloves and trash bags and were then sent down Tamarack to pick up trash. We started out trying to make it fun by singing and dancing, but that ended when Chassidy walked backwards into a puddle. She almost fell on her back. It was pretty funny. So we decided to split the street to make the work go by faster. Our side definitely won the battle of who could find the most interesting things. We were walking by a creepy house when we looked down and found two needles on the ground. We got excited because we knew that we had instantly won our trash battle. Two feet later we found rubbing alcohol. We started to get a little freaked out and were hoping that no one would come out of their house and attack us. It wasn't people that we had to worry about though. We should have been more concerned with canines. A huge dog with a bum leg, which did not hinder the running ability, came out from behind a car and glared at us. Chassidy took off and was halfway down the street by the time I looked up. Hope and I decided that running was a plausible decision. Unfortunately the dog also thought that running would be a good idea. He chased us for a while down the street. It was so scary, but we got in some good exercise. We had a lot of fun that day. I don't think many people can top our story of what happened to us when we tried to help out society.
