Wow, it happened. It finally happened. I am now gainfully employed. Working for the man. Weird. Its been about a year and a half of unemployment, so I've had alot of time to think about my reaction to the news of acceptance. I always thought I'd jump up and down, freak out with my facebook status, and throw a good one-two punch into the air. Instead it was more of an 'okay, about time, lets get going, I've got bills to pay'. I realized during this time that employment would result in something relatively simple and easy and I'm ultimately cool with that because it will let me put time into creating art. Though, I cannot lie that I am still slightly disappointed. Its great people, great business, great opportunity, but about 3 steps back from working at the bookstore during college. Its just tricky to get my mind to readjust to being "trained" to break down cardboard boxes. Whatever makes the time tick faster I 'spose.

I have a feeling I'll get settled, comfortable. Steadily grow to the point I was at with the bookstore as they let me. I have a feeling I'll get settled, comfortable, this will be apart of my life for years and yet the first to be forgotten. Funny. I'm going to have to work on this.

I am extremely thankful, and blessed to have obtained an opportunity. To finally get my foot in the door. And foremost, to be able to wear casual clothes! I'm excited for a bit of stability, to build a savings, and to add texting back to my phone plan lol.
