I am blessed with a pretty sweet named internship which will be not mentioned in blogs. However, I had been pretty dissappointed with my responsibilities solely being research on a computer for 32 hrs a week. I know this is silly because I am an INTERN by definition it means boring pointless work. I had just hoped I would learn a lot from this particular company and would get to experience other areas within the company. Well that wasn't happening and around week 4/5 I was getting anxious and was asking to do other things. After annoying my employeer a little too much about it, my wise father said I should probably back off and stop asking for a while, which I did.
So a week or two had passed and I decided to give my mind fully to the project have a good attitude and just try to be a good worker and not ask anymore. I found a story the other week and was following up with the character of the story. It was really exciting because it was the first time they had seemed like a story of mine might work.
This week, I finished talking with the character and submitted a paragraph explaining the story and I think they are going to pass it along! Now that still doesn't mean it is going to be a story, but it's the furthest I've gotten with all but one other story. I just need to remember NOT to have expectations b/c when I do, I am always disappointed because as I was told, I am an optimistic person and always envision the best.
So besides that story, on Tuesday I got to go out on a shoot, something different and it was SOOO fun, plus I got to interview two kids for part of a story. I was so thankful that they let me do that because it means she trusts me and even though they didn't use the footage due to time constraints, it was still awesome and I felt lucky. THEN, on Thursday I found three other stories! One they had submitted (which was cool b/c it meant I was on the right track) and the other two they were going to call the people about...
So in short summary, persistence pays off. You may HATE what your doing, want more/less responsibility, but remember that God is your boss and he has assigned you this task. My devotional for yesterday (which oddly ties in now that I think about it) Matthew 25:23 "Well done my good and faithful servant. You have been faithful in handling this small amount, so now I will give you more responsibilities". So remember not only your persistence in serving God, but in your work, once he sees you can be grateful for the little responsibilities and you finally stop complaining like a whining baby and just do the task, you will be rewarded. So that's my little Lesson for the week. My changed attitude and new energy to research paid off, or they are just trying to encourage me and the stories still stink, either way I feel better and I am finally okay with this experience.
AIGHT, now the serious talk. BOYS, THIS IS RULES FOR YOU WHEN GOING OUT.
Okay, so girls obviously are all different and how are you to know who wants to dance and who doesn't?? Well first, look at their ring finger, if they have a ring, AVOID, it either means they are ALREADY TAKEN, or have strategically placed a ring there to have others avoid them (ME).
If there is a large group of girls that seem to be all dancing together, never separating and ALWAYS around each other, it is usually a defense mechanism so they can have a spotter from all angels of the dance floor, in case you try to move in then a "save" can take place...
Explanation of a "SAVE"- you start walking towards us to dance, a friend pulls the girl away, either pushes your hands away or changes positions with her, or the group surrounds, or basically anything to avoid you. This is not to give you a challenge and does not mean she really wants to dance, it means GET AWAY CREEP! Don't bother her and her friends the rest of the night b/c they have already labeled you a creep if you persist to try and dance with them (in opposition to my early enthusiasm for persistence, this is considered stalking and not a good persistence)
I know you are now thinking to yourself, Well why are you out at a dancer club then??? And my response would be, because dancing is fun, dancing with you is not. I am a better dancer and I don't like to have to compromise to dance w/you. Plus I don't know you, and if I did, you would realize I am not the kind of girl that likes dancing with people. I like a little circle of free space all around me so I can do as I please, w/o you. So leave me alone! If you want to dance, we can ballroom dance because then I don't feel uncomfortable, or interpretive dance because you know a guy can be your friend if he can dance silly. face to face.
This is just out of experiences me and my friends have had. So know when you're being a creep and lay off and leave.
