The Thoughts of an Intern

I am officially 2 weeks in to my 600-hour internship, and let me tell you, at the pace I'm going, I'll be doing this internship for a full year. Okay, I'm exaggerating, because I WILL get done in June, no matter how many days my supervisor sends me home because there is no work to do. Needless to say, it's been interesting. The first week I was so extremely under-whelmed that it was depressing and miserable. Then last weekend I prayed for a better attitude, and I have since enjoyed it. Let me tell you a little bit about my days now...
1. I am an intern. Basically that means that I follow my supervisor around and hope that he has things for me to do.
2. I don't know anyone, so I feel awkward most of the time, especially because, again, there's not a lot for me to do.
3. My supervisor is super cool though, and has promised that he will let me get done in June, no matter if I don't actually get all 600 hours done or not. He's very laid-back, and probably appreciates that I am simply ready to be done with this thing.
4. It's just weird. I'm used to having a lot of responsibility and feeling pretty significant. I was spoiled at MOKA, with a very independent job, which I was good at. It almost feels like I'm taking a step back, which is not necessarily a bad thing, because there are new jobs to learn, but it just feels weird.
5. I have a LOT more free time than I originally thought. And very little to no stress at all during the day, due to my lack of responsibility. I can basically go in whenever I feel like it, and leave or take a day off if I ever need to. As long as I can still end in June, I'm definitely okay with that.
So those are my thoughts. With my "new attitude", I am able to appreciate this internship for what it is (6 months with very little stress and a chance to focus on other things in life), rather than dwelling on what it's not (a lot of boredom, awkwardness, and no pay). I do believe that God's timing is perfect, and He wanted me to experience this internship during this period of my life which has potential to be very stressful. I can focus some of my non-stressed energy onto wedding planning, fixing up Bev's house, and generally getting my life in order. As if that can happen. It's taken me 2 full weeks, but I have realized that this experience is a true blessing in disguise. And I will be grateful for it, darn it, because Lord knows I don't handle a lot of change and stress very well at the same time. Maybe now I can finally just relax and enjoy my engagement without constantly thinking about something else. Yup, I think that's what I'm gonna do. Sit back, relax, and celebrate.
