i work at the Vietnamese American Civic Association (VACA) in Fields Corner. every morning i wake up at 6:20 and leave my house at 6:50 to go to class in Northeastern University for my Bridge to Calculus class. then i leave to catch the number 8 bus in Ruggles, going to Backbay. i work at the Food Bank in Mass Ave as an intern from 10:00 to 12:00. we get our own lockers!! simply take a token, available at the top of the lockers, and then do that twist and turn key thing. haha pretty cool. i work with Emmi, Duong, and Tien. Emmi's a cool girl, we talk while we work so work is less boring. we are each assigned to two categories, for example, cleaning agent and feminine hygiene. we stand before a circular conveyor belt, and there are literally 20 people working around it. so a person loads the items to the belt, and the items go around the belt. so when i see an item that belongs to the feminine hygiene or cleaning agent, i simply remove it from the belt and place it into the box. we don't have to do much lifting haha.
then i go eat lunch with Emmi and Duong around Andrew and right before it hits 12:40, we leave to go back to VACA.
anyway. Tien's such a strict lady. she won't let us do this or that. we can't wear shorts or sandals. but we can wear whatever we want on Friday's. haha Tan is back! but he said he might not work at VACA. he makes the place funner though.
