(Sorry that this blog post is late. My wireless keyboard died and I've been trying to fix it. I've replaced the batteries so it should work temporarily, but I'm not counting on it.)
Anywho, a few days ago in thesis I made a list of things I need to do. Mr. Correa read off how many documented community service hours we have, and apparently I have somewhere in the ballpark of 36 hours. The only thing is, I don't remember which activities I've already turned in hours for and which I haven't. Ah, well. I'll just add the hours I've gotten from this past summer (which will take me way past 100 hours) and that should be fine. I'm pretty sure I turned in my Volunteens hours from last summer, but I guess I can always go ask them to make sure.
I also (FINALLY!) got my report card from the end of junior year. I also got a change of address form so that they can actually send my stuff to the right address this time. (I guess I didn't realize the reason why I never got my report cards at the end of the year is because they had the wrong address on file. And we moved two years ago, too. Oops.)
As for the Pratham Readathon, Vineeta and I have been communicating and she gave me a list of ideas for what I could do after the Readathon ends in October. A lot of them were just basic fundraising ideas (e.g. bake sales, talent shows, selling other random things to make money) but it got me thinking. I really hope we'll be able to come up with something that'll actually work.
Also, I'm now the reader who has raised the most money in the United States! I'm at $1,753 right now. Not only that, but I've also gotten 18 new readers on my team. Hopefully (hopefully!) I'll be able to motivate some of them to raise money by the end of the fundraiser. The only challenge is that a) most of them have been inactive for the past few months and b) I can only contact them via email, so if some of them don't even check their emails I won't be able to do anything about it. Still, I'm just going to hope for the best. (Go Team Aishwarya! :D)
