Fear Factor
Just finished 3 days of orientation and I'm exhausted!! Partly because of the early starts and non stop talks all day, but also because for once I've actually tried to pay attention!!! For uni lectures I just drift in and out of reality as I please, but I thought I should try to remember what I'm being told!
I sorta regret listening now. The more they told me, the more terrified I got about starting work! Oh my giddy aunt!! It's going to be horrible!! I'm so terrified!!! I have no idea what I'm doing!!!!!! I've done new scary stuff before, such as trying to go 1 week without internet, but this is totally different because if I stuff up, it has very real and serious consequences! This ain't fun and games anymore!
It's the attention to detail which really gets me. As a student I could just pick and choose the fun bits to keep me entertained and when it got hard I could just give up and wait for someone else to pick up the pieces. I can't do that anymore!!! The fun bits, the crap bits, the medium bits, I have to do them all!
This is what my programme looks like:
