A Little Handy Work
Last night, I had finished most of my homework, so I went to the common room to catch up with my advisor. He was my Spanish teacher last year and I came to really enjoy the language. Whenever we speak, it's usually in Spanish. He started to complain about a bunch of the broken or damaged pieces of furniture in the common room and I suddenly got the idea that we could them, since we weren't doing anything else. I ran to my room, grabbed my tool kit and screwdriver, and ran back to the common room and soon we started to dissect the furnature and started to fix them. When I was in middle school, I worked with a handyman/carpenter several times a week and I've always loved to work with my hands, but being at bording school, there just aren't many opportunities to fix or build things. It felt good to work on the furnature last night; it's relaxing and soothing to me whenever I work with my hands and it is also nice that there are now some chairs and sofas that can actually hold someone. Now I need to think of some other project that I can work on...now that I've dusted off my skills, I'm craving to do something. Look out, Mercersburg!
