Karma
Well, I may not believe in it strictly speaking, but sometimes, it does feel like there's more to life than just what we make of it, and you do feel like balance is maintained and preserved as much as possible.
Couldn't have been a bigger contrast of days; some of you will have read the ranty, apparently subjectless post from yesterday, but today was arguably one of the most uplifting days I've had in recent memory.
Firstly, I got the job. The one in Canada? The guest relations host position, my first choice. Despite turning up half an hour late for the interview, I GOT THE JOB! I think I was still in shock when she told me because I was nowhere near as excited as I'm feeling now. I was just like, 'wow, that's fantastic' and now I'm like, LET'S DANCE! I'm so flipping excited and nervous and cannot wait for October to come. In some ways, feels like a breath of cold air - refreshing and snaps you wide awake, only of course, I am awake and it's really happening ... I'M GOING TO CANADA. I'M LEAVING LONDON.
Secondly, I have an interview for a six week marketing internship program with a company called Spoonfed, which basically is launching over this summer and I might get to be a part of that launch. It's unpaid but I'm so stoked because they seem to like me enough to let me pick when I want my interview - the guy was like, "we're flexible; obviously you're working but you're one of our top candidates so whenever you're free to interview and to start the internship, is good for us."
I'm so so stoked; this is such an amazing opportunity and together with the job news, I just feel like my life is finally taking some sort of shape and direction. I'm not overly hopeful and optimistic about the future as a general rule but I am finally genuinely, REALLY excited about what is happening next. It's like I'm done stagnating and doing what I have to, and really starting to chase after what makes me happy and what I want to. And that has me psyched.
