So tonight, my roommate and I ate the last box of President's Choice White Cheddar Mac and Cheese. For those of you who are not aware, President's Choice White Cheddar Mac and Cheese is my absolute favorite. They stopped making it. Everywhere. I made sure. I used my "BarCode Scanner" app on my phone to try to find it and its barcode number is no longer recognized. So I had one more box and finished it off tonight. It is in moments like these that I become aware of what an anxious person I am. It took me about a half an hour to decide to eat the mac and cheese tonight because I didn't want it to be gone forever. My last bite was tragic. Here are other examples of my ridiculous (but sometimes normal) anxiety:
1. I HATE changing phones because I get attached to them. It's quite an ordeal.
2. I only use the ATMs.....bank teller anxiety.
3. From the two times Michael and I have had to say goodbye while I've been here in New Albany, I have cried. I am fine being apart from him, but the initial goodbye gives me anxiety.
4. I had two nose bleeds the first day of my internship because I was so anxious about it.
5. I'm having anxiety right now from telling you guys about my nosebleeds my first day.
6. I have to put two fingers on the car window when I drive over train tracks to avoid anxiety.
So to summarize what I've learned about myself this week, I'm an anxious person. Not anxious enough to be unable to function properly, but anxious enough to be slightly embarrassed about it.
I've had a great first week at my internship. I'm learning a lot about social work agencies, welfare, grants, and section eight housing.
I love living with Barb. Right now, we are finishing up a marathon of Jersey Shore. We haven't gotten out of our PJs all day.
I love love love going to spin class every morning at 5:30! It gives me more energy throughout the day and makes me feel good about myself. I recommend it to you. Seriously, do it.
Mom and dad came to visit this weekend for my birthday. We ate the best sushi EVER.
God is so so so very faithful. He has put me here and I could not be more grateful for it. I am growing and learning so much while having the time of my life. Its painful at times but I wouldn't trade these experiences for anything. Praise God for how faithful He is.
How wonderful, how marvelous is my Savior's love for me!
I'll leave you with this....
Things I could do without: Toilets with automatic POWER flush. Always seems to come 5 seconds to early...

bahahahahaha im so happy you started this again because your blogs make me laugh probably more than anyone else.
ReplyDeleteJennifer,
ReplyDeleteI looooooove your blog. I have read this entry about three times at different sittings and laughed every time. Maybe not more than Molly laughs, but maybe more, I guess we'll never know.
One question, what is Jersey Shore? You can introduce me to it if its really good, I give you permission. Spin class at 5:30 am however, I do not give you permission to introduce me to that.
Love you my anxious ex-roommate,
Chich
Jenny,
ReplyDeleteThis blog made me laugh! So glad you aren't using the internet as an outlet to hate life. You are such a positive person!
I mourn with you over the death of white cheddar. Remember when I texted you and told you Jewel Osco was getting rid of them? And here we thought that was just a fluke...those jerks. I guess God answered my prayer with a, "No." Hope your internship is rockin'! Tell Berb I said, "HEY!"
