Soon

Maybe I should've waited a few days to start this blog, eh? It's summertime so I haven't had to face many social situations. Just church. Even my summer job wasn't too stressful; I was a full-time babysitter for a 3 month old and an eighteen month old. Kids aren't so scary. I thoroughly enjoyed playing with them all the time (though the days were loooong). Hmmm....I guess I do have some problems with my job that will help to illustrate my shyness some more. For example, two weeks ago was my last week with the older kid. His mother usually pays me at the end of every week, but that day she told me that her husband would bring my check by later. If he didn't show up I was supposed to text her and she would pay me. Well, he didn't show and I didn't text. I chickened out. Lost myself a week's worth of pay because initiating a text freaks me out. That's the sort of thing that I'm hoping to improve on this school year. And I'm hoping that this blog will help me with that. School starts in just a couple days. It's Friday and I have to go to school next Monday. Wish me lots of luck! I'm so scared *shiver*. It's going to be my second year of college and college is scarier than high school in some ways (like every semester you have to meet a new group of people), but also better in some ways (like, there's actually less pressure to make friends. Tons of people sit by themselves in class. Uh...not that I'm going to do that. :) ). Last year went very well, I "hung out" with people quite a few times, which is a good start. The problem is that, when I hung out, I hardly spoke at all. A word or two when asked direct questions is all and that simply won't do. This year, it's time to strike up my own conversations. Make friends. Participate in group projects. Those are the main goals. Oh! And never run away from something because I'm scared of it. So...come Monday, I'll have more exciting things to write in you blog - bye!
