HaPPy To Be aLiVe!!!
So I am pretty much beyond ecstatic right now. I just got a phone call from the Orientation and Transition staff lady person and I passed the group interviews and they want me to be a part of their staff!!!!!!!! Man 0 man.. I'm so psyched! I had my interview on Tuesday and we were the last ones, so I was a little worried that I would not get it b/c they probably already chose all the ppl they want/need. Also, there were so many over-qualified ppl @ the workshop, I thought I wouldn't have enough of what they were looking for. BUT I DID!! =D When she called, I was about ready to dance a jig, lol, and you think I'm kidding! =) I will be employed this summer as an orientation leader @ SJSU to help the incoming freshman transition to their first year of college, and this is excellent to have on my resume. So YaY for me!! =D
That was only one of my interviews on Tuesday, after that one I had another interview for this non-profit thing called Cops Care Cancer Foundation, which they are looking for an intern to make flyers and newsletters and help w/ their big fundraising activity for Christmas where they buy toys for all the sick kids. So you know I was definitely interested in that. =) I feel like I am here for a reason, and these kinds of activities are my reason. They seemed very happy w/ my responses that one of the police officers even asked the girl who found me if she had told me what to say, but she didn't. I think I'm the perfect fit for this position and I believe I will really get along w/ these cops. (Never a bad idea to have some cops on your side) And also the networking possibilities for both of these positions are absolutely priceless. For this Cops Care one, b/c these cops have tons of contacts w/ hospitals and sponsored companies, etc. etc. I have my foot already in the door when I'm ready to get hired after I get my degree. I can get a job @ Stanford Lucille Packard hospital if I want, which would rock. But even just having this internship on my resume makes me more valuable to the hospital that would hire me, rather than someone who does not. Yah, it's not a paid position, but the networking is something I wouldn't be able to get w/ all the money in the world. Unfortunately sometimes, it's not always what you know, but who you know. And I'm about to know a lot of really awesome ppl in my field, and also gain experience in that field. =D So double YaY!
I really couldn't be happier right now. This is something I've been wanting for a long time now and I got it! w00000! Also, the semester is coming to an end, which is amazing b/c I'm so done w/ this crap. After this I only have one more semester worth of GE classes and I'm ready to take my career classes, w00000! I'm also thinking of minoring in communications studies, just to have an extra wealth of knowledge. I figure I'm in school now, might as well squeeze the most juice out of it while I can, no? Man, 2oo7 will be good to me, I just know it!
Edit: P.S. I'm also very thrilled b/c I bought the Dane Cook Vicious Circle DVD and love it!! =D Come watch it w/ me sometime! =)
