The Big Event

im just going to warn you and say this is a rant and may be long cuz its about 700 words.

So this weekend we had the big event and since I am a part of the Galileo program I was a part of the Galileo/Hypathia big event team. This consisted of over 200 people and we went into Christiansburg to mulch the disk gold course there. I expected to be walking through a slightly hilly area through the woods with mulch in wheelbarrows. This was not even close to what we actually did. The email they sent us was so broad they didn’t really tell exactly what we were doing, except mulching a disk golf course. I think they did this because they knew people would not want to go if they knew that we would be walking through the woods on steep cliffs for like 2 miles into the woods. It was the biggest bullshit ever. They had 5 gallon buckets which they filled with mulch and people carried to the sites that needed to be mulched. The buckets were light so I grabbed 4. One other guy grabbed 4, other people grabbed 2, but there were some other guys who were bitches who only took one like all the girls did. Seeing the guys who carried only one bucket it pissed me off. They are lazy and so inconsiderate of others for not even trying. We all came out to volunteer for to do this, and they are going to act like a bitch? Wow, makes them pretty cool I think. Everyone must have looked at them like they were hot shit. No, they looked t you like u were a weak bitch. And on top of that there were some people who were shoveling the mulch into the buckets who were talking shit about how there were more buckets to take and how we needed to keep going, but anytime you told them to run one and you would give their shovel back, they said no and bitched out. They didn’t make any runs through the woods and had no idea how much work it actually was. But not only were the people shoveling lazy, but there were a ton of people just sitting down on the grass. Jessie and I noticed one girl was sleeping on the grass tanning the entire time we were there. Are you kidding me? R u really that selfish that u can’t push your body a little to help others? I carried 4 buckets every time I went down, which was multiple times, and you couldn’t even sacrifice a little. This was a good majority, probably about a third of the people there, who were sitting on the ground. And when they would bring snacks, people who didn’t do shit would rush them and eat a ton. Really? I don’t understand how people can be the way they are in life. I grew up working with my dad building fences and building houses because he is a construction worker. I learned that some days will absolutely suck, but as long as you focus on enjoying the company of others while you work, then the work won’t seem as bad. I’ll admit once we started I wanted to stop immediately, but as soon as I saw so many people not even trying, I didn’t want to be one of them. I never sat down once and I always carried 4 buckets at a time. I wanted people to know I was trying and that I cared for others, even when I wasn’t going to be getting anything out of the situation. And btw this may be the worst written paper, but I wasn’t really focused on the grammar or how it sounded. I just needed to rant so I don’t rant towards some people close to me for being tools during the whole fucking event. I don’t know how all these damn engineers plan to get through life without actually getting off your ass and working.
