Just another day

Sep 23, 2010 22:31

So today, not as awesome as yesterday, was a pretty good day! I feel as though I'm starting to open up more with people, which is good. I may be very social (often called a social butterfly), but that doesn't mean I'm open to everyone, ya know? I do feel as though I am getting close with my roommates. I feel as though I could share anything with them and yet still feel secure. I don't let too many people in...I don't know why. With people I don't know too well, I almost give them a different impression of me. I don't always act like me. Karen puts it right...I censor myself; some more than others. But I feel as though I can let my guard down here...and it's really relaxing! I think this is what I was missing about Florida. But now that I'm comfortable here, I'm okay!

Also, at work, the head curator said hi to me today...i was shocked! Kind of lifted up my spirits because that 'community' there seems almost closed off. So I felt as though I was being let in. I think my new goal is to be more proactive at work. I will get to know these people, even if I ahve to go out of my way to talk to them. Even if it's just to say 'good morning', it's still a good start! Ima start tomorrow! Whoever is there, I'm just gonna say 'hi'. Seriously, what's the worst that could happen...what that they won't like me. Oh well! I'll just move on to the next person. Someone's gotta like me there...lol! What a weird statement that was...

It's weird too because today, I feel as though I achieved a lot, but in actuality, I didn't...at least not as much as yesterday. But I think I did enough today! You need days where you work really hard...and days where you don't. It's a necessary balance!

Also, I'm thinking of maybe teaching English in Japan starting in August. I don't know why, but that's what i'm dreaming about so that has got to mean something! I am going to start researching it, to see which programs I want to sign up for :)

bai bai! <3

teaching, internship
