I don't know why, or how everything is just working out. But it sure is, and I am so amazingly grateful. I find myself randomly smiling all the time.
This photo is from friday night. On Friday afternoon I accepted a laboratory position close to the city I hope to live in.
WHAAAAAAT!?!!?!?!
I figuratively slapped myself in the face, and I got down to business. I hammered out a few different versions of resumes, fulling intending to apply for anything and everything I was even a tiny bit qualified for. A week ago, I sat at a coffee shop and spent all day applying for 20 lab jobs {which is a lot when you have to change your resume and cover letter for each one}.
I felt good. I felt ready to do that again and again until I found something.
Tuesday morning comes along, and I wake up to an unknown call. Tired, I think about ignoring it, but something tells me not to. I answer. Chat with a lady, decide on a phone interview time for that afternoon with the founder of the company, they ask me to come in the next day for an interview. I go to the interview {it's also raining cats and dogs at this point, and I'm all ready to impress with my heals and white, yes white and sheer, shirt that is dripping wet by the time i am buzzed in}, the receptionist gives me an ID badge and little hospital booties for my heals, and we have an interview. And it goes awesome. And they give me a few proficiency tests. And it goes awesome. And she informally offers me the position, and it feels awesome.
But Friday she said she would give me the official word, and she did, and now I'm an employed lady!
I wonder if I should tell her that I cried after I hung up...maybe when we know each other better...
So Wednesday is the last day at my internship and last night event, then I will move with a pillow, blanket, and suitcase of necessities to my besties air mattress in the city, Thursday I will start my first day, and each minute in between I will search for my very own apartment in the city.
Let's do this life.

hi, samara! i resonate with this post so much. life can be very stressful when you're a planning kind of person (me! me!) and you have NO idea what is next. i am on the job search too. currently working in a restaurant and i hate it. i need something professional and something i love! you're so inspiring and i am so happy that it worked out in your favor. this is so great. i am going to take a page out of your book, do things a little differently with the resumes, etc...and just see what happens!!
