It's Been One Week

(Since you looked at me-awesome points if you got the song reference before I finished the quote). So, I have had a request for pictures. Lots of pictures. But with one thing & another I haven't taken very many. Oops. I'll get on that ASAP.

But, in this one week, I feel like I'm doing pretty well. I mean, today people were giving me inmproving advice-which could be bad, I supposes-but I'm taking it as a "ready for the next step with a brain no longer made of mush" kind of thing. I have been trying to learn the basics, and now comes the tricky part. Or parts. It's time to fine-tune.

Making the program mine. The last person who had this job is about 6 foot 2, has a naturally loud voice and is a hilarious person. I, at 5 foot 4, do not command the same respect he did. I've been trying it, and it's not working. It ain't gonna happen. So time to shift the game-plan.

There's also the issue of being late all the time. On ship, this means I'm early a lot. This happened today. Not good. I need to make sure my watch is set in sync with the boat's cloak.

But Bailey, you might be saying, you said there were two big things. The second, dear readers, projecting. Yes, projecting. You may not know this about me, but I am generally what is considered to be softspoken. I know, shocking! For such an introvert, I do tend to end up in the public eye talking to people a lot. Huh. Maybe God is trying to tell me something...

So yeah, everyone is being super nice and helpful, because, I'll be honest, there's a lot to learn. I went from having a 2 week training period to having less than a week before I was fully in charge of the Education Programs *shudder* But like I said, people have been giving advice & being patient as I learn the lines. ''

I'll be honest, this has been really hard, mostly because of the amount of information that I am shoving into my brain and trying to then get it all out again in a cohereant (spelling? That can't be right!) manner. Also is the fact that I had less time, and I'm frankly better with much younger than 5th graders. But I believe that I am making progress. And that is a comforting thought.

Also, Doctor Who is amazing. Though I still hate the new Mansfield Park. Work out that connection :)

But through all of this, I can guess at least some of the lessons that I am going to learn. I can do things I never thought I could do. Sometimes, your dream jobs actually do rock. Quit apologizing! Jump in, but ask questions. Also getting over my heights thing.

God has been faithful this week-not that I was surprised. But He knew I needed to talk to my parents and they were free. He knew I needed encouragment, I was surprise-texted by two friends with words of encouragment. He is always faithful, and although He sends me places I can't imagine, I know that He goes with me.

Which really is a comforting thought.
