busses and money and other things that go
i hate busses.
public transportation BLOWS
...so my school had a blind auction this morning to raise money for this kallah who has none, and we raised over 3,000 dollars. ok so my friend starts the auction thingy, right? and she picks up a wrapped present- no one knows whats inside. she starts the bidding at 1 dollar. immediatly someone yells $50!! and then two seconds later $110!! the bidding went up to like 120 bucks and then the person who won ran up to open it. it was toilet paper, tissues, and a toothbrush. i expected her to be like no freaking way i just spent 120 dollars on toilet paper- but she didnt! she was so excited about it!! that happened the entire time. one girl kept telling other people to raise her bid until she finally bid $330 and she got a cute little gumball machine that you could buy for 10 bucks. the people here are AMAZING!! i couldnt get over it. ok so thats amazing, right? on the side, we're having a toy drive for chai lifeline. almost ever signle person put the stuff they bought for over 100 dollars into the boxes to give away to kids with cancer. seriously- i couldnt believe it. one girl who works bid away all of her money that she made. she was like "dont worry, ill make more." i was like what is WRONG with you?? but then i realized how awesome these people are!!!
my school rocks
...but i still hate busses.

speaking of kids with cancer, the bus for kids kicking cancer (rabbi goldbergs thing) was stolen yesterday and he was on the news talking about it

i'm sure there is a connection to public transportation and kids spending all their parents' money on chineese auctions :)

Rock-- I know you're kidding, but jic you really haven't heard of the program, it's a karate workshop that helps kids with cancer let out some steam and build energy, or somesuch like that. Rabbi Goldberg is amazing. I hope they get that bus back fast and give the perps what they deserve.
