New Job

So the Housing Director at my college asks me to come down to his office, and I do. We chat for a bit, and he ends up offering me the position that I applied for last year. Next semester, I will be starting as a resident assistant. I wrote about it in my old journal.

Here's a quote from right before the interview process started:

"I don't want to be sick. I'm trying to fight it off. My RA Carousel Interview was this morning. I want the job so bad I can taste it. I even just had a dream about it just now. You know... cuz I'm sick and I was napping. I don't think it is healthy to want something like that. But maybe I could get the job. You never know. I have work to do but I'm anxious and can't get my mind on it."

Here's a quote from right before my interview for the job:

"I'm nervous. I hate being nervous. I want to go in there and flash my huge smile and ramble about myself like I know I can do... but I have this gross feeling in my gut and my heart won't stop accelerating. My RA interview is in 5 minutes. Wish me luck."

Here's a quote from a few days later:

"This is just an update that says I suck at life & I didn't get the RA job. Thanks everyone for being supportive and being good friends. Life's been good to me so far."

This job really meant more to me than anyone will ever know. The Housing Director said that he's never had someone impress him so much so quickly in 12 years of doing his job. It made me feel awesome, while at the same time I remembered how I felt right after getting a letter that told me that I wasn't even going to be considered in an alternate pool.

Now, he's talking about not just next semester but next year, saying I'd do well with freshmen.

It's a cool job where I'm going to be able to work with people, help people, and best of all -- we're working out a way for me to continue my position in the Resident Student Association as Vice President. Oh, my SAACURH video is online and we're showing it today at 5:00PM. It's not the best flick in the world, but it's certainly fun.

This is turning out to be a nice little journal/blogger here, isn't it?
