I woke up this morning and I just hated everything…!

Friends, this will be short and sweet (and a little beggy too).
As you all probably know, I’m on the student council at my school. We are finally achieving our much-fought-for and eagerly awaited goal of remodeling and redecorating the student breakrooms. The aim is to make them cozier, more comfortable and yet also more inviting to learn, discuss and focus on the tasks at hand. We have put together an awesome concept that includes new furniture and repainting the most important spaces. But now I’d like to solicit your help!
There are a few things we’d still need that would help make it all come together perfectly. These include:
- tacks for pinwalls (I swear there are little trolls eating them every night)
- kitchen towels and hand towels
- a new microwave (new meaning “anything but the old groddy one we have now”)
- assorted mugs and silverware
- a few pretty jars and boxes for the donations to the tea fund and to hold the actual tea
- tea in sachets
- a few cushions (but only in shades of blue, beige, chocolate brown and white or my friend Andrea (also on the student council and our resident interior designer) will kill me for ruining the much-laboured-over colour concept)
If you guys have any of that stuff and would like to donate it and are living at a distance reasonable for me to pick up, we’d love to get those things to make our breakrooms perfect. When I first got on the student council many years ago, the remodeling was already a long-time issue. When I became president of the council and saw that we weren’t ever going to make progress with the architects (only partly their fault, since the building is too old and intricately build to just knock down walls willy-nilly) I changed the direction and went for mild remodeling and mostly redecorating. Last term I gave over my presidency to the ever amazing Klara because my time at the school is coming to an end and I have too much on my plate as it is. But I want this project’s achievement to be my legacy at the school. If nothing else, I want to be the one who initiated this much-needed change (Andrea tells me the decor has been the same for 20 years) and I want to see it through to completion. You can help!
And if you can’t, just cheer us on so it gets finished this term!
Live long and prosper, peace,
Anna
Oy to the poodles, already!
