Volunteering Stories: Part 6

As the description says, there are more Olympics! Even better, one of my favorite sports, soccer, was on today. USA vs. Guinea. It was great having the Olympics on again, because like yesterday, there wasn't much to do. I probably wheeled like two or three patients. I did do more wire wiping, which can take 10 minutes for one set, but that was about it. Other than that, I was enjoying myself in the lobby watching USA dominate the game. It was actually pretty fun watching a full soccer game live like I did today. These Olympics are saving me this week, as it's happening on the least busiest days of the summer. Great way to pass the time.

Although I'm focusing on the Olympics this week, I still put hard work into my jobs when I could. I'm not trying to be lazy or anything; it's just that there's no work to do. Since there's no phones allowed for volunteers, you're mainly stuck to talking to nurses or just watching the TV in your free time. And with an absurd amount of free time today, I just watched lots of soccer. It's been two weeks in a row with minimal work. Perhaps next week will bring more patients.
