First day of my internship begins today! I am frightfully nervous, which is to be expected I guess. After doing virtually the same job for 10 years, beginning something new, as a professional now, scares the daylights out of me. I keep trying to use some positive mental reinforcement and picture how great things will go, but I keep picturing myself tripping over the door, spilling coffee all over myself, and sounding like a bumbling idiot. Why is that???
I know I will be fine, the day will be fabulous, and that this is just the beggining to a new world of knowledge. I have my lunch packed, two cans of pop, fresh coffee for the trip, a whole lot of nerves, and a smile ready to go. I could use a little prayer though, so if you have some time... I'd appreciate it!
I am a little late, but am sending a prayer your way. Look in the mirror. you are "smart, confident...and learning". Walk slowly and look where you are going (to prevent stumbling), fill your cup half-full (to prevent spilling) and listen carefully and ask questions (because listeners sound smart).
ReplyDeleteThank you! I didn't fall, spill coffee, or ask any dumb questions; I think. :~) However, I was so worried that I would do something to disapoint them that I didn't even think about the fact that I may be disappointed; which was the case. I'm going to blog about it, so you'll have to read more.
