Last night was the coldest night we’ve had yet. I woke up shaking pretty hard. We slept right in front of the main door to the School of Business. We were begging for money really hard today. It’s funny to see the mixed reactions from the public. Some people are so scared of the confrontation. Some of the people we asked for money would turn their head so far in the other direction they weren’t even watching where they were walking. Other people are so happy to help once they know what were doing. I think it’s important to keep in mind how much easier the begging is for us, as opposed to an actual homeless person. People give us money because they know it’s a great cause, they smile because of our intentions are noble. homeless people don’t get that, they receive money from pity not respect.
I’m tired and cranky today. I can’t stay awake in my class, I’m certainly not retaining information like I usually do.
I’m weak, tired and sore. I’m so luck this is only for five days.

We really have had a lot of deep talks these last couple hours. Either I’m getting more exhausted or more emotional. Which ever it is I’m really proud to be a part of this.
Today my mom drove up from Lethbridge just to see me and give our group some food. I’m so stoked to be able to do things like this that make my parents proud. Its things like this that form people to be who they will become.
I’m honoured
OMG, we had an amazing person donate toothpaste tonight. It was glorious. I never thought such a small tube could bring so much joy.
I’m super stoked for all of the support we have had so far. Between the news teams and the people making donations, I think we are off to a great start.
Well I have certainly had better sleeps in my day, but concidering everything it wasn’t to bad. We slept on a grate that had air blowing through it all night. I had one of those sleps where you just lay down with your eyes closed but your really awake and aware.
I think this is going to bring a lot of awareness.
Well the first night is here and it’s looking pretty sweet. We had an awesome donation of pirogies tonight so were not going to bed hungry. I’m super excited with all the press that we have had so far and I know it’s getting better.
We have our spot picked out and a lot of cardboard to sleep on. I think this is going to work well.
