What I've Learned Cont'd....

Continuing on in yesterdays list of things I've learned, on a light note :)


5) Not to take myself very seriously - If you can't laugh at yourself and your shortcomings, then you'll end up thinking more and more about yourself... sort of ironic. Therefore, when you do something stupid, don't try to play it off, just laugh it up :) It makes for a much happier life.

6) I do not want to be a receptionist - Not stimulating enough.....I need interaction, and I need to be using my brain more, lol. I can't handle just sitting here all day.....although, it does allow me to post in blogs and stalk people on facebook better. Teaching may be challenging, but at least its not incredibly boring :)

7) How to change a tire - no better way to learn than through doing by necessity! I have now successfully done it, and purchased a rubber mallet, to assist me in doing so again, should the need arise.

8) Growing in confidence - I think the biggest thing that helped me in this was taking the bus to work almost every day. I know this sounds very strange, but its true. I am forced to rely on others for transportation, which I hate, but at the same time, I felt like I had to exhude confidence in every way. Maybe because I feel like more of a professional now, I dress up every day (not because of school) and I run this place in part (answering the phones, directing people where to go, etc...). Its fun :) I have a ways to go in this area though I think.

9) I like eating healthy - This is not new news, but I decided this summer to put a good effort into it, and spend a lot more money eating healthy. I think it was worth it, I feel better about myself even if there is no visible change :)

10) People love venting to me - I am noticing a trend, and it scares me. I am one of the worst people at giving advice, but so many people (my dad, my aunt, my grandparents, my friends, etc...) continue to vent their deepest frustrations to me. I don't mind listening at all, but I just don't know what to say in return. Perhaps nothing.


Hmm.. that is all for now, maybe more later, if I think of any :)
