I am starting a new (volunteer) position tomorrow. It's in an area of my interest and I am hoping to learn a bit there so that I might be hired in this area eventually. (I'm also applying to a graduate program in this area).

But I am nervous. I really like the woman I am working with (the director) so far but I feel a little intimidated by her. I want to make a good impression. I am going to work on trying to just be myself. This is an area that has been very hard for me in the past - I am usually trying to be all things to all people and mold myself into what I think others want or need of me. So I think it's going to feel a bit odd trying to remain in my "own skin" for the entire segment of time that I am there. It is an odd feeling to have to work hard at simply being true to who you are. Why is it so much easier for me to try and pretend I am the person I think the other one wants to see?
I will probably start saying the serenity prayer this evening and say it all the way through tomorrow, lol.

Any good thoughts and pocket riders would be awesome...
