Um...thoughts, I guess...

So...

I've been itching to write something, I tried to tell myself that it'd be best to wait until tomorrow, because this is what I usually do when I start something new - I completely exhaust myself until I can do it no longer. I don't want that to be the case with this blog, regardless of whether people read it or not. I want to keep this on for as long as I possibly can, because I want to read this in about a year's time and find that I've actually devoted myself to something long enough to follow it through.

This blog is about life, and even my life's not that boring, so I should have a fair amount of things to show you every day.

I can be quite funny when I want to be, although my writing is rarely ever funny but I'll try and be as frank as I possibly can 'kay?

Anyhoozer, today was the second day of my work experience and it went very well.

I can be a bit dumb sometimes and I need to have things thoroughly explained from time to time, such was the case when I arrived at work today. It was a simple task but it took a while, I wandered aimlessly for a while contemplating whether or not to actually ask for help or just find my own way. I don't know if it's pride but it's definitely something that needs to go. One of the crappier parts of my character I guess. Anyways, I did ask for help and that was that, it was sorted, why didn't I just do that in the beginning? I still don't know...

Another thing about work today; dealing with really talkative people. Ask anyone who knows me, when it comes to talking, I can TALK. I love to talk, even when it's utterly nonsensical ramblings, I'll talk your ears off if you give me a chance. But I am a quiet soul, I like to listen to God throughout the day and I like to take each moment for all it's worth, which often means not talking a lot. But yes, there was a lady who came at the beginning who just wouldn't stop, don't get me wrong, she was making sense with her words, but I like the quiet.

“We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature - trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence... We need silence to be able to touch souls.” - Mother Teresa

Okay so I obviously want to get this whole work experience thing right; I want to learn as much as I possibly can and I want to make my God proud, to make my family proud, to make myself proud, this is true. So I was silently rejoicing when I reminded my boss of an important detail that she herself had forgotten, earning an earnest "well done!" from her. I'm not kissing up okay? :P It's just nice to get.

On that note, I think I should start doing more of that, letting people know they're doing a good job, so many people, every day go out of their way for us, to serve us, I think we should let them know their efforts are not wasted but rather, appreciated. It goes a long way I think.

I got to go outside with the kids at the center today, it was rather nice and there's a little boy who I'm especially fond of, he's a real sweet heart. It's so weird for me sometimes because I'm reminded that not too long ago, I was them. A five year old child. It's just a bit weird to me now, I can't even remember what it's like to think that way.

But I'll always be a child, of course, I'm becoming more of an adult every day but undeniably, there's the little child that I'll always be.

So yes, these are just some things I just had to say. :)
