Update with Volunteering at the Library

I recently got home from volunteering at the library. I talked a little bit about it last month, since I was struggling to find a job. I have to say I had a great time helping out. It made me feel useful and left me wanting to do more. I loved sorting the different genres of books.

The library I volunteered at has a lot of books that are donated to them each year. It was cool seeing all the different types of books they have. I volunteered for three hours which made me satisfied. The hours were starting from 9am to 3pm.

I volunteered to 9am to 12pm. I only volunteered for three hours because I didn’t know what to expect. I wanted to take it slow so I don’t overwhelm myself. It was hard to motivate myself to go because of my anxiety, but I managed to do it. It was stressful at first, but I got the hang of it.

Everyone was so nice and polite while working there. My anxiety took away a lot of precious sleeping time. I am super tired so now I’m going to take a nap and try to recuperate. I wanted to post an update because I had a lot of people who wanted to see how this event would go.

I hope you have a great day and I hope you enjoy reading the update!
 
Now you have a good memory to use when you have anxiety about people, new situations, and commitment. I would think that your experience of fitting in is more the norm, and for me that is fitting in with my Township government, or the Cycling Club, or friends I've had for over 35 years and have moved up here, only an hour away.

I'd like to share a little: My Dad's partner's son recently joined the Airforce, which is pretty huge! And I'm gonna be earning money by appearing as a background waitress in a music video very soon, so it's my first little paid job :3 You must be having an amazing time, I'm glad to hear the update!!! :)
