I don't even know how to describe the day I just had. Some was good, some was bad, and all was crazy. I honestly dont think I'm cut out for this kind of work, I'm not a leader, I never have been, and I dont deal well with girls. Today was the first day in over a month that I just got to sit down and talk to a male and it made me feel so much better. I dont know what it is, I just blame it on the fact I grew up with all boys, but I am so much more comfortable around males than females, and working with a group of all girls down here grates at me. They're all great people, truly they are, but theres just too much girliness going on down here. Anyway, all the volunteers for the next week are down here and ready to go. Each person is assigned to a church, and I got some people from Arkansas. They're staying at an episcopal church so I got to experience that for the first time today. I now have respect for the Episcopalians, but I have no interest in being a part of their worship service. I dont think there was a single time we prayed that it wasnt something read out of a book. Liturgy is cool, but I think there needs to be more personal stuff sometimes. There were also a lot of rituals and such that makes sense to them and helps them worship, but to me it feels sacrilegious. Over all, I believe they are truly worshiping God and thats great for them, but it's not the way my brain works so I'm gonna stay baptist. After church I stayed with my church and played card games and ate lunch and just had a great time, I'm thrilled theyre my church. Things got out of hand though and I ended up having to walk to the community center for the meetings and being unable to prepare for it much at all, but the group was pretty laid back so they it worked out. I wish I could run this show my way, but I dont even know what I want to get done here or how, so I'm just going to finish what they asked me to finish, and I have more time, that library is mine.

By the way! At this point I was going to go to apartment and try to regroup my crumbling brain, but yesterday we had a very sudden flea infestation so we're setting off bug bombs and wont be spending much time in the apartment for awhile. Woot. So, we chilled for awhile at the park then went to the farm where we were having the welcoming party, which turned out great. The food was good, the volunteers was fun, and I just had a really good time. Then we came back to get some more work done, my supervisor called my 3 times in ten minutes (oi), and we eventually got everything worked out to finish at working an 11-hour day. Not bad, could definitely be worse. Now though, I'm ready for a shower and as many possible hours of sleep I can get before starting the ACC at 8 in the community center. Who's excited?

Entertained Amy:

So at the welcoming party today I was hanging out with some of the volunteers and one of the looked at a girl and said "Every youth group has a Dwight. You're the Dwight." Most of us cracked up, but she had never seen office and that made it even worse. Wonder who's the dwight in your church?
