As I sit here enjoying my cup of coffee...

I will give you a play by play of last night's awkwardness...

When you are new in a City/Town/State/Etc. you gotta work at it to get yourself out there and meet people, especially when you are new and all alone. So to say the least I have been in and out of informational after informational from nursing school to volunteering to jobs to churches... and you know what? it gets old walking into that big room all alone. But you learn to mask it, you just put on a cheesy smile and whisper in someone's ear "Is this where I'm supposed to be? What do I do" Because obviously:
1. you are a few minutes late, only because the other option was being 15 minutes early, which opens you up to a whole new world of awkwardness
2. you really aren't sure if this was where you were supposed to be

Hence, last night's awkwardness... Now let me brief you, i actually didn't feel that awkward, I have learned to find these situations quite entertaining because I have come to the realization that these people don't know who I am, and if I wanted to, I would never have to see them again.

OK, so here we go. I have had a cold the last few days, but yesterday I was feeling good... REAL GOOD. So I go to the "new people" class, and I am a little excited but a little reluctant.

Then I get there and about 20 minutes into it (after being late) I start to feel that tickle, you know the one that comes on before a coughing fit. So I immediately start to chew my gum and suck on the spit to try and immitate water and ease the itch... no dice. So i start coughing and have to get up and get some water.

Then I come back and my nose starts to run. So i'm sniffling and trying to avoid wiping my nose with my hand. Then i succumb to pinching my nose to ease the tingling sensation.

THEN my left eye starts to water uncontrollably as the sniffling continues and the cough makes a reappearance. Thank YOU mr. cold for making a roaring introduction right in the middle of my awkward "i'm a new kid at church" class...

Anyway, it wasn't that bad, but in my head I was cracking up. I also felt like the youngest person there because I am not yet a "professional"... nursing school couldn't come fast enough, so i at least don't feel like a bum...

Girls:
Please pray for my job situation, I am still currently unemployed and am becoming increasingly discouraged. I got hired at a new restaurant that wasn't scheduled to open until later this month, but when I inquired about the actual date it was to open and we were to start training the girl never responded. It has been a month since my interview and still no response from her, besides the initial hiring. So after 2 weeks I started applying again, but these restaurants told me that they had JUST finished their hiring and were done... basically telling me i have the worst timing ever? I just can't believe it. SO please please please keep this in your prayers, i'm sweatin bullets over here (and it's NOT HOT HERE... lol)
