Not a lot today.

Today was extremely not busy. Like no one in the waiting room, no one in the beds, only a ton of nurses and employees bored. So, what did I did today? I did a lot more socializing today. Previously, I wrote about how I mainly talked to the elderly volunteer who was friends with everyone, but today I talked to way more people. I mean, when everyone's bored, you eventually find yourself talking today. It was actually kind of fun, even without my phone. At Milford's, they're really strict about no phones, and it seems stupid at first. But talking is fine, too. The more people know me (more like the other volunteer introducing me to his friends), the more easier it is to talk to them. Breaking out of my shell, you know? Other than talking and chilling, I didn't do much. I wheeled around 3-4 patients in those three hours. That's fine with me, I guess.
