Soup Kitchen

How do you start off the weekend?? By waking up at 7am to serve at the soup kitchen! Father's Heart located on East 11th and between Ave A and Ave B in the east side is such an awesome ministry. They have a soup kitchen that serves breakfast to more than 600 people every Saturday! It so great to see so many volunteers willing to help out. It was at least 95degrees today so it was so hot in there. But just seeing the smiles you get from the guests as they leave satisfied is all worth the sweat. Also great was some of the basketball team in aprons and hairnets!

TGIF

The best part about Friday's is the fact I get out at 1pm in the summer. But the worst part is waiting for a crosstown bus. I took 30 minutes or more just to get across central park on the M79. Chipotle was for lunch and eating at school brought back memories. Too bad I couldn't pick up my diploma. Walking around the city in the thick humid air was so disgusting. It was a relief once you step into a store blasting the AC. Nordstrom Rack is by far my favorite store in Union Square. It seems I always find something to buy in there. And for dinner, just eating pasta at Grandmas house and resting for the rest of the night. What a surprise to be able to talk to my girlfriend in Panama. Thank goodness for free wifi. Well this is my first post since class ended and hopefully it won't be the last!
