Preppy, Postgrad & PROFESSIONAL!

Hey y'all,


I AM OFFICIALLY EMPLOYED!

It feels so good to say that. I hope that makes up for why I have been MIA. Long story short, I was contacted for an interview at the beginning of the month for this wonderful position. After the interview I was feeling great and rather confident which is strange for me but it all worked out. I had a follow up interview the following week, then low and behold I received an official offer this past week. 

Yesterday was apartment hunting and today I am packing up my bedroom at my parent's house!!! I am moving in NEXT WEEK!

I am in love with the position and the place and I can't wait to begin work in TWO WEEKS! WHAT???

Ok, I am sorry for all the capital letters but I can't tell you how excited I am for this position. It has been an interesting summer struggling with family loss and working in a retail job that while ok I knew was a job not a career, but I can only count my blessings and thank God!

This summer was filled wit lots of job applications, cover letters and even a few interviews but it wasn't in God's hands but I have learned that God's timing is perfect and I was glad to be home with my family through August with the loss of my grandparents and now I am really ready to begin a great career. 

This English major is EMPLOYED (trust me, if you are an English major you will find something!)

I won't give you all the details about my position yet (SAFETY REASONS) but I am working in the field of administration within a university.

Now back to packing my life into boxes. AND CONGRATS TO UNC ON THAT TAR HEEL VICTORY vs. NCSU!
