Who was I kidding? Part 2

Hi all. 

My posts are so "corny." I realize that, but it is what it is.

Anyway, if you actually read the last post, the suspense "story" ended with me receiving a text. 
Anyway, it was that same Monday morning after I prayed about this coming summer. 
Erin, the mom I babysit for told me that they were allowing the office she works in to hire a work study person.

So just like that...all the summer accomplishments I'd planned, changed.
 I came to her office the next day. Erin works with transfer students...but in that same office, another lady works with the first year experience students-basically incoming freshman. I will be taking phone calls, Erin says I have such a calm demeanor, (you all can judge if that's true ;)) so I'll be able to calm down anxious parents. I guess I can put on my soothing "teacher" voice ;) that many say is not so soothing ;) 

I will also be preparing for orientations and doing the behind the scene's things that lead to those events-basically the kind of things I love to do. I love jobs where you are active/busy and doing different tasks (that's why teaching is so great) so I am greatful for this summer job. 

 Best of all, they are so very flexible-telling me to come in whenever I can, etc., but between 20-30 hours a week, plus I want to use up all my work study money. 


So, this is a tentative schedule of mine for the month of May. A few things have already changed, but the idea here is that I am not going to have a free week day until Memorial Day. Also, since I have something going on the 19th, my only Saturday off will be the 26th. Then it's June with youth camp that first weekend.

Anyway, point is, no break. I thought I would have a "relaxing" exam week, but of course how could I even think that, there is always something-like subbing all week. So now I have papers and subbing and praying I get it all done and done well! 

I am not complaining that I have a busy May but I did want some sort of break, just to "do nothing" but then again, I can't just not do anything. Who was I kidding when I thought I would have a laid back summer-knowing how things always turn out in my life.

This leads me into a topic I want to cover of busyness in my life. I love learning about myself and so I want to document that life aspect in the next post as well. (See, at this point, I just want to make the blog private because I feel like these posts are so awkward for friends to read...but then again you don't have to read them, just don't make fun of me ;) ) 

Blessings,
Lesya

  1. I know what you mean about wanting to make your blog private. When I accidently deleted my previous google account/blog I took that as a sign (haha). I wanted to encourage you to continue to feel free to be open here on your blog. You're never over-the-top even when you think you are! I know what you mean though, about that being material for others to use against you to kinda pick on you and that's never fun. If I ever did that I apologize. I hope others are more considerate over personal material in others' blogs.

    1. Luba,
      For me I feel like I should make it private sometimes because, for example, this post is so weird kind of thing. Not that it's personal but I feel like it is strange/lame/I talk about weird things. And, not that people would make fun of me in a serious way, but just think like why is she writing about this-but then again-who cares?!

  2. I know the feeling exactly!!! ~Each and every single time I open my mouth... I totally get where you're coming from, but I still who cares! People can skip these parts, and you can put them in their own category marked "misc." or something like.

    1. Luba again?
      You're so funny. I completely disagree that you should feel that way every time you open your mouth-don't put yourself down like that!
      Thank you for understanding where I am coming from!
