Something to look forward to

Note: this was written in June, and didn't publish till now because it was on my phone.

These last 2 weeks have been both amazing and dumb. 

Spent last week studying for Finals and getting ready for graduation. But the one thing I forgot to mention was that I received an email from my teacher about an available job at my dream office. So I turned in a resume. The next few days were filled with self doubt and feeling like I wouldn't hear anything; also wondering who my competition was from my class. I soon get a call to interview this past week. Feel like things went great, except one major foot in my mouth moment. When it came to answering what my expected pay would be I just remembered someone saying that if its less than (blank) amount hourly that we should look into other offices. They pause and look at each other and have a small discussion. My eyes get big and immediately say "I'll take whatever you choose to pay me since I'm not experienced". Now I walk out from what still seemed like a great interview. So I am just filled with the thought that I said too much and failed horribly. 2 days later I get a call back saying I got the job! I just about jump out of my shoes and screamed in the isle, I was working of course. The only thing is I will train during externship which is about 8 weeks, unpaid. I will be out on payroll right after, this is because I haven't taken the certification test yet. So I have a job right out of school, amazing!!

Now on the poopy end, mainly having to work in Federal Way for the last 4 days and not having any gas to actually be doing this. I got more hours but it was not worth the drive.
