L's busy day

L volunteered to stay after school today to help her fellow students collect money from passers-by for Misericordia. Andy and I saw her as we were heading home from a meeting about E's Japanese trip so we stopped in the parking lot and gave her a dollar. She told us to come inside the school where she showed us a goldfish in a sandwich bag. She said a group of high school boys came by and handed her an envelope that said, "My name is Julian. Please take care of me." She wanted us to go buy fish food, a fish bowl, etc. Thank, high school guys. I don't think that will happen. Of all the students standing out there collecting money they had to hand it to L who loves animals? And they said the fish's name was the same name as the school? Really?

After volunteering, L had to perform in the school play, an adaptation of George Bernard Shaw's "Pygmalion." It was about a girl who wanted to be transformed from a nerd to a cool girl so she could sit at the popular table. L was playing "Callie," one of the popular girls. It was pretty cute (but long). We had plans to go to dinner after the show, but it got out at 9:30 so we grabbed some McDonald's and went home. At home, B was entertaining his old friend from Ohio, L, who is in town this weekened so his brother can visit a few colleges. B was also with IR and IB and they're all planning a sleepover.
