I finished my second day of Subway training today. I think I'm going to like working there. The lunch rush is ridiculous and overwhelms me entirely, but I'm enjoying it. I've met both supervisors/managers so far. Tammy, the main one, seems a little stressed most of the time, but Sam is a blast and started the actual training today (yesterday, I just kind of got thrown to the sharks), and I like her. I've met four other girls that I'll be working with. Sarah really took me under her wing yesterday and everything in me wants to get to know her better because... well, you know those times when you meet someone, and something in your soul just clicks? Yeah. It was that. Sarah and I are meant to be friends. And Emily today is ornery and loud and boisterous, and extremely helpful to me as I'm trying to figure stuff out. I've come to realize something, though. The other two girls that I've met scared me at first, and I've been trying to figure out why. And it's because they're quiet. Why does that always unsettle me so much? When I get to talking to them a bit, they're just as awesome and friendly as any other person, but they intimidate me at first. That bothers me. I talk a lot, I crack jokes a lot, I ramble at times... is that more or less just a security blanket for me?
Oh, but here's an awesome story. The summer interns went treasure hunting on campus during the summer, and one of my clues matched up pretty closely with this guy by the pond. And so we went and talked to him, and he wouldn't let any of his walls down or admit to anything, but you could see it on his face. When I asked him if there was anything going on with his parents and his relationship with them, his face froze. But he didn't want prayer and didn't want to talk, so we left. Before we got too far, he called us back. Yay! And he asked us to pray for this girl he knew. Her name rang a bell, and I did pray for her for a while, but then I sort of stopped. Anyways, during orientation last weekend, guess is who is the other new girl working at Subway? Her! That girl! Ohmigosh, is my God great or what? That He brought back into my life this little occurrence from so many months ago... coincidences don't exist. God is going to do something, and I don't know what it is or what part I play in it, but my heart jumped and leaped and danced!
In other news, I'm an adult. I guess. I'm moved into a house, and it's pretty much done, actually. I went grocery shopping with my best friend. My best friend enjoys cooking a lot. Both of us enjoy decorating a lot. It made for a pretty pricey adventure, and we're not even done yet! But it'll all be worthwhile in the end. It's so weird, this whole growing up thing... and it's scary to think that I'm halfway done with college. I've been nothing but a student for years. That'll end soon. Creeeeepppy. And super exhilerating.
I'm bringing my family to church in St. Joseph some Sunday in June this summer. I'm nervous. If you'd like something to pray about, that'd be it. Along with patience. I feel like I've matured and gotten more patient alot in the past year. It's definitely something God's been working on. But it's still hard at times, especially with all of these daydreams that I have stored up.
RRandom picture that popped up on Flickr. Felt like it felt the random post motif.
May the fourth be with you.
And also with you. Amen.
