Tattoo & Movie Night at the Drop-In

So today was the day I got my new tattoo.. Doesn't really have anything to do with my placement but it was exciting. So I won't talk much about it but it took 4ish hours and it's beautiful.

'm a big girl.. but it was pretty swollen

I made it to placement a bit late but I had let them know ahead of time I wasn't sure how long it would take. I missed my call with Catherine and wasn't able to reconnect with her before drop-ins started in the evening.

The night was pretty fun. It was safety week in Finglas community. What this means is a bunch of different agencies have gotten together and put on different weeks to bring awareness to different issues in the community. The different agencies then put on different workshops and events for families and youth in the community. Tonight was one that the centre had agreed to put on, so it was a movie night at the centre. We made little treat bags filled with popcorn, juice, and a chocolate bar and put a bunch of fruit out. It was cute, they ended up putting on old videos that had been made in the centre by youth in the community about 7 years ago. They were very cool, it was neat to see some of the youth I had gotten to know in the videos when they were much younger; super cute. I worked hard to hangout with the older youth, struggled a bit because it was the movie night but I did ok. The girls I had talked to last week came and chatted with me. I helped them fill out some job applications for a mall. Overall a good day.. my leg is for sure a bit sore now through.
