Week 4 AND 5: Creative Writing and Active Listening

Oops, sorry. I do not know how the whole week went by without an update. Well, I do. I was busy. haha

Week 4
Creative Writing
Definitely a good week. Out teacher was actually one of our staff members, which was nice. I tried REALLY hard to pay attention at all times, but some of the students in the class had never really done creative writing which meant she had to go over the basics. Good review though. On Friday night, we had an "Authors Night". We spoke the pieces we had written. Another student and I wrote two, we were also the ones who introduced and closed the time. I had fun, expect they made us dress up- and you all know that I develop a rash if I stay dressed up for too long. haha! I cannot believe how many people believe me each time I say that. It makes me laugh. (: Anyway, I ended up with an "A", so that was nice.

Week 5
Active Listening
Who would have thought active listening meant you had to talk?! Definitely a good week although not my favorite. Is it bad if I would just rather not talk at all? I feel like it is.. mainly because I know God has more for me than being mute in places where I do not feel comfortable. Anyway, I now have some really good tools in the realm of listening. And hopefully, I will stop being so scared and go up to talk to people... who knows, that is a rather large step.

Also, as I have mentioned before, I have been accepted on as YWAM Madison staff. I was given an update: I will be staying out at the Training Center with the DTS and my friends who are coming back on as DTS staff. This is good news as the rent, food, and utilities will be all rolled into one, rather low price. Although, I do not have enough monthly support to not fundraise. So I need to do that these next couple of months. If only there was someone to keep me accountable... but not in the "You need to kill yourself fundraising and doing the school" kind of way.

All for now.
