This morning, I finished my last morning shift at Farr's Fresh. ((I still have one more night shift, but then I will be outta there!)) Those morning shifts were a blessing and a curse. They didn't start too early ((9:00)) and got done at 2, so I still could have productive day. They required a lot of cleaning, but that was fine because it made time go by quickly and cleaning feels like something I feel okay about being paid for.
However, I was always all alone. And those of you who know me, know that I get scared really easily. Every morning I would walk into that scary, empty store, and my imagination would run wild! I was positive that I would find someone lurking in the corner, or dead in the bathroom. It sounds foolish, but I was terrified. And sometimes I couldn't even move because I would hear a noise and get worried. My dad gave me a blessing, but I was still a little unsure. I knew if anything happened, I would be fine, but I was still very afraid of something happening.
But, as I finished my shift this morning, I just started feeling so proud of myself! Those morning shifts were HARD. Physically and emotionally. But I stuck with it and I made it! I am definitely a better and stronger person. I am really thankful that I had the experience and that I did it....I just would never like to experience it again. ;)
But then I got thinking of all the things I've accomplished in my life. I am an AMAZING person!! It just made me feel like I CAN do this. And everything will turn out okay.
And even though I woke up crying the past few days, it's okay. Being sad is normal and fine! But I can still be happy at the same time.
I leave in one week and I am so scared. I had to say goodbye to my best friend last week and that was heartbreaking. Now I'm getting ready to go and my life seems upside-down. But I am so excited and ready to go! Weird times...
In other news. Here is my new haircut. 10 inches, my friends. Eat it.

Gosh, Emily. You are so cute. I'm proud of you for surviving morning shifts, it would freak me out too. (:
