nervous

hey everyone! today was my last day of weekly camp (for volunteering) yayy! haha. i asked 5 more parents to donate to my TNT, and i’ve gotten 20 dollars more, already! note to self: WRITE THANK YOU NOTES. anyway, i just find it hard to talk to parents. the initiation of the conversation is really tough for me. i mean, i can talk to strangers fine, but if it’s like i’m asking for money, it’s very different. i prefer talking to the moms also; the dads kind of intimidate me more because they’re just guys, i guess. they’re all very nice people though, and when i talked to them, they all seemed super-supportive. i talked to 2 moms in the morning, and michael s’ mom gave me 20 when she came back to pick him up. in the afternoon, i tackled the dads. i went into the room where they were putting on their children’s shoes and kinda just stood near them, trying to build up my courage to talk to them and finally i did and started talking. i told one of them that i was doing that because he was like “oh? i didn’t know you needed to talk to me?” but they were all very friendly and weirdly, they all had accents. i found that odd. it’s all a learning experience, right?

anyway, tonight i have a 5k. it’s at 11:25! it’s called “29th Annual Kiwanis Morton Plant Mease Midnight Run.” i heard about it from some of the tnt people. so i thought i’d drag my running buddies… erica and courtney into it… but courtney can’t go. oh well, i am excited though! and there’s a shirt! i think it’s kinda geared toward the 4th of july holiday. 

katie’s in jax beach this weekend so i’m not sure how much running will actually be done over the weekend, but i really hope i’ll be able to run a little. i’ve been feeling very self-conscious about myself and this is the only way i really feel better. get those endorphins pumping! well i am going to go be lazy for a little bit, and head to erica’s. 

adios!
