I'm really hoping that this blog posts because I'm at school and this is technically illegal, but you never get anything done unless you break a few rules...that was sarcasm :( I met with my mentor, Mr. Lindner, today and it was probably the greatest thing ever. I know where I want to hold my 5K, but I'm really nervous about asking them about it. Mr. Lindner had the greatest idea ever! He suggested writing up an email (without sending it) and including what I want, where I want my money to go, what I want it to go to, etc. and then he will read it! This means that I not only have the coolest mentor ever, but the smartest. Totally not even bragging for Brownie points, considering I owe the entire Jazz Band brownies... Anyway, my favorite place in the whole state of NJ is the Historic Smithville Park. It's a park with beautiful trails and canoe launches and really fat turtles in the summer. This is where I want my 5K to be, but as I said, I still have to ask. I decided that I want to donate any money that I raise to the Parks and Recreations division of Burlington County and to the Animal Shelter, because those are the places where you find the most immense beauty and probably the least amount of funding. I have to figure out what I want my money to go to...Linderp said that I should have an "ear mark" (whatever that means) as to what I want to happen with my donations...so I will work on that!
So, Kim's to do list:
- Test the trail I created using a Smithville Park map before I decide FO SHO that I want my 5K to be held there
- Write up this proposal email...
- Take notes at my 5K this weekend (what do they have, what do I want, what do they need, what do I need)
- LEARN TO HANDLE STRESS
Incidentally though, this blog/journal thing is a total stress reliever. I'm kinda in love. Well, anyway...Until next time, zai jian :)
