My morals always seem to take over me in the end

Well not really "morals" - I don't really know what to call it. Basically before I bought tickets to the Coldplay concert, I thought it'd be absolutely hopeless to go the concert at such a time so a friend of mine told me to sign up for this volunteer event organized by this international organization that deals with poverty, injustice, food, ... and I think some other stuff lol.

Yep and so my name appeared on the list of the 20 people who were chosen! Or 19, rather. And honestly I'm quite grateful to have been chosen but the truth is, I exaggerated my volunteer experiences quite a lot - except for the one of my mission trip experience. I've read the blogs and have seen a video of what these volunteers do, and it doesn't really interest me as it may interest other people. On top of that, they want us to dress up as food... And also I'm kind of glad I decided not to do it because I don't exactly agree with some of their political ideas lol. Though I may not exactly talk about it, I really wish the US government and just our state government (CA) would focus more on education and learning. A lot of problems arise from poor education - and it's stupid how the government continues to have budget cuts on our education system. Yes, food is important and international affairs are extremely important as well, but I'd rather volunteer for something that I care more about (not that I don't care about injustice or poverty).

Granted, these other volunteers may have exaggerated their way into this volunteer event like I did, but at least I can rid of the guilt that I have. If I did decide to go this event, I would have wasted $220 and would have ditched the person I would be attending the concert with. So yeah. I'm just going to be a music admirer and avid Coldplay fan that night and not have to worry about political or social issues.

But just that the fact that I have been chosen to do this event has sort of motivated me to be more involved in my community already - something which I have not done for the longest time. I'm treasurer of my school's music club, and haven't done anything yet for this quarter so I think it's about time to work on getting those club T-shirts...
