Orientation Follow-Up, Shiny Pokemon Hunting, Twitter, and Tumblr!
So! To follow up on my Orientation, I SURVIVED. XD
It was scheduled to start at 8AM, so I had to wake up extraaa early [and I barely got any sleep!]
To be blunt, there were a few times that I got anxious [especially during the car ride!] but I made it there about 30 minutes early. I found the orientation room but it was locked, so I walked around the store until 8AM and then went to the orientation room which was finally unlocked.
10 minutes passed without anyone arriving, so I decided to go look around and ask an employee to which she brought me back to the orientation room and said it should start soon. So I waited some more and another trainee arrived and we chatted a bit. It was a few more minutes until the Area Trainer arrived and got us started on the orientation.
Turns out that it was only the two of us to be trained! I was really anxious at the beginning of the orientation, but calmed down by the time we had a lunch break. Another girl had come but apparently she had forgotten her papers and came on the wrong date and had driven nearly an hour there [Ouch!]. Supposedly the same thing had happened to my co-trainee, Angel, the week before.
A lot of it was rather mundane, and I swear a few times Angel and I started to nod off [especially during the videos], but we were able to get through it 30 minutes early.
Then my sister came to pick me up and wanted to go to the Rite Aid next door. I played with my nieces and then we drove to a Walmart. I bought some clothes and a Toy Tea set for them and also purchased some more minutes for my [crappy] cell phone. I think I did pretty well holding back my agoraphobia, for being surrounded by so many people.
Finally, we decided to stop by a Mcdonalds on the way home where I treated my nieces and sister to ice cream, shakes, and fries [they didn't want to eat much as they were planning to eating dinner at home].
And that was my Orientation experience! I start work on Friday, and I work 5pm to closing 10pm. I'm also going to get myself more comfortable with driving myself places again this week as well [traffic is awful for agoraphobics...] so I'll be able to drive myself to work like before. Wish me luck!
As for Shiny Hunting, recently I made a Tumblr Community for Shiny Pokemon Hunting in X/Y with hebilea. It's still very small! We'd like it to grow so that more users will use it to help them find/trade/show off their shinies. If you are interested, please check it out!

Also here is my personal Tumblr for anyone interested:

There isn't really much right now, but I'll probably post up some art [mostly Pokemon, Anime stuff] in the future xD
I made a Twitter too! [Wow I feel so hip] It'll probably be the same as my personal tumblr, but random status update stuff.
