Internship has begun

So yesterday was my first day at my internship site…..Sunday will be my first “official” day, but yesterday I got my keys and went over the service and took another tour of the church. I got TONS of instructions on where things where, what things did what, and who was who. It was a lot of information but it was pretty straightforward. I am still excited at this point. I know it will be a lot of work but it is stuff that I enjoy so I am pretty excited about that.

Today I did a lot of work on the apartment. I don’t know how we have gotten so much crap. It is stuff that we don’t really need but I hate to throw or give away because I am afraid that one day I will be looking for it. I realized that I also have a lot of papers. They are things that I have collected over the years and they need to be put in digital format. Then I can burn them to CD’s and throw the paper away, or actually recycle the papers. I want/need to get better about recycling in general.

I think I am getting ready for the summer. I am not sure if I am ready for internship. I don’t know what it would be like to have the summer “off” I think I have been going for the last 20some years of my life and I have not really had a break. I mean when I was in high school I went from school to camp and back to school — even through college!! Now it is school to CPE to school to internship. I really would like to not do much next summer, to have a “sabbatical” before my senior year. I know I will most likely have to work, but if my plan works out I will be teaching guitar lessons and supply preaching for income senior year. Maybe with a few hours at the library…We shall see….

Tomorrow is my last day of “freedom” before the “official” beginning of my internship. We are going to run some errands, go to a strawberry festival in Plymouth Meeting and then come home to continue to work on the apartment. I don’t know if we will finish organizing tomorrow, but I think it will be livable after tomorrow.

Like Lent I really would like to keep up with this blog throughout internship, I think that will be possible, now that my life has settled down some. May was a crazy month, I would have to say crazier than I ever have had before. I am thankful that I made it and I don’t think I had any major crashes around me.
