When I arrived, there was a big bucket of Thanksgiving/ Fall decor waiting for me. I spent the first hour of my time decorating windows with fall themed stickers. Acorns, leaves, trees, & pumpkins covered the glass by the time I was finished! It was a fun, oddly therapeutic activity that I enjoyed. As a college student, I spend so much time in front of the screen that its nice to get a break & do something that does not require thinking!

I then hung up leafy garland & fun orange tinsel. I love all things related to interior decorating & especially decorating for the seasons, so this was a perfect activity for me to do! I also arranged some fun acorn garland around the office.
I finished decorating while the director was still in a meeting, but I still had an hour left to volunteer. I saw a vacuum laying out along with a broom, so I decided to start sweeping. This was a good lesson for me- to see something to be done & do it- without being told specifically. I swept the whole office, & then started vacuuming. I vacuumed each of the vistitation rooms & lobby area! When I finished that, I organized the rooms individually. I also wiped down countertops, organized some of the table tops, & helped clean the bathroom!
Overall, my experience was a great one! I had fun cleaning & decorating. I enjoy both of these things & I liked being able to do something I liked while contributing to a great cause. It was nice to volunteer in a calm, quiet environment where I could relax while helping out! I am looking forward to going back tomorrow!
