Playing catchup...

I am so behind on blogging. This week was CRAZY. I am now working two jobs (Staples and St. John the Apostle Catholic School). I am teaching 2 sixth grade health classes, and subbing throughout the school. This last week, I worked 22 hours (or so) at the school and 34.5 (or so) hours at Staples. Oh my! If you were wondering where I've been, I've been working. Seriously.

At St. John's, we had meetings and things early in the week, and I've been getting to know the staff. I've helped people set up classrooms, watched training videos, and shredded a bunch of papers. Literally. On Wednesday, we had "Faith and Formation" day, which was at St. Therese up in Portland. As a part of this day, there was a mass service. It was my first mass, and I was kind of nervous and excited, because I didn't really know what to expect. I liked it, though. It was uncomfortable at some points, because everyone knew what to say and when. I didn't know what was going on for most of it, but I liked the formality of it. I don't think I'd like to have mass as my only worship service, but I like that it's the history of our religion. While Protestants don't agree with everything that Catholics believe, all Christians descend from the Catholic faith. Anyways, I'm looking forward to more masses and learning how they work/what to say when, etc.

Things have been going really well, though. I've been so busy, but it's going to be good financially, and I've been doing really well at Staples. I've sold 11 ESP (product replacement plans, etc.) in the last week or so. That's pretty good, and I'm in 3rd place for the store's competition. I'm working to beat out the others, but they're definitely more experienced than I am. I've also been selling a lot of pens and getting donations. That's also a big deal, I guess. Woo. =) My bosses seem to be noticing that I'm working hard, and they've told me that I'm doing well and also that a customer called to tell them that I was very helpful. Awesome!

I'm not sure what else you would want to know. I'm going to try to update more often, even if it's short. That way, you'll know what's going on! Sorry to be so MIA lately! Miss you guys!
