Employed

Let me start off this post with one simple statement... I GOT A JOB!

After months of looking, praying, interviews and more resumes than I want to count, I finally have a job. I'm working in the Public Administration department at KU and I'm couldn't be more excited. I'll be making travel arrangements for the department's professors, helping with the department's budget, and planning events that my department puts on (and yes, I'm aware that I used the word "department" three times). I will have to drive to Lawrence every day, but I love my apartment and I don't want to live in Lawrence anyway  so that's a sacrifice that I'll have to make. I'm incredibly thankful for this job and I really feel like it's the right one for me. I know this post is short, but I'll post again when I have more to say about my new job. My first day is Tuesday the 31st! To everyone out there that's still looking I have this advice - don't take the first job offer that comes your way if you really don't want it. Hold out for a good job that you'll like and want to do every day. It will happen, you just have to be extremely patient.

First post from the "Real World"

I've been living in my apartment by myself for a whole week now. It's weird getting used to living on your own when you've always lived with family or roommates. I don't have to share the TV remote, I can set the thermostat at whatever temperature I want, and I only have to clean up after myself. Overall, I like it a lot. I do miss my old roommates and it does get lonley sometimes, but it's been pretty good so far.

I'm still working two part-time jobs as of now, but I've been interviewing for a job at KU and got called back for a second interview this week. I'm very excited and I think I could do really well at this job, but it's in Lawrence and that's going to use up a lot of gas and time every day. That's the only negative about the job and I'm trying to decide if it's worth it.

My not-so-little sister is graduating from high school this Sunday, I think I'm having a harder time realizing that she's actually graduating than I did with my own. She'll be coming up to Olathe for college, so it'll be nice to have her close again.

So there's just a litte up-date on what's been going on these past few weeks. Hopefully I'll have more exciting news to put on here soon.
