week in the Y

It's Thursday of my first week at the YMCA.  Yay I think, I only say that because well it has been an interesting week.  My first day I showed up and found out the the woman that I am going to be working with, was away all week in training.  Therefore, that means that I was going to shadow a few people and see what they do.  My first day was at the front desk, where they do all the answering of phones, signing members up, and other office work that some others don't want to do.  That day was spent stuffing envelopes, handing out towels, and figuring out the postage machine.  The next day I did the same thing, again and have done that all week.  The best part is that yesterday, I actually learned how to answer the phones, and transfer so I felt a little more useful.  Oh a side note this is not complaining, just what happened.  

Other than that I've gotten home in the early evening, after going for a walk/jog around the lake, and picking up some groceries for dinner.  By then I've been really tired, so I've watched TV and basically been in my room.  I know that is the exciting life, but I'm finding it nice to be alone at times.  Somedays I'm really lonely, and I'm finding that I like to find the balance.  I really believe that God will show me something and use me.  I'm not sure what, but I know that there is a reason that I'm out in Massachusetts.

Side note, at the YMCA I really like the people there, although there is some fun drama.  The fun drama is about some inter-staff dating that took place, and is now over, this makes for some fun, well or I find it amusing.  Also I have my moments when I feel older than the other girls that have been there and times when I don't.  It's fairly split between women with children and some still in college.  In a way I connect better with the women who have the children, maybe that's just me growing up a little...
