Today is my last day - I feel like a kid on her last day of school. You know, like a young girl with a whole summer of opportunities and adventures ahead of her.
I've never felt like this in my career life before...but then I was always leaving one job to enter another of this same dreary responsible work.
I'm being irresponsible, and I know it. Okay, irresponsible in my parents eyes. In my eyes, I'm being Very responsible! I have back plans, a way to pay the bills, no Sig.O whose feelings and future plans I need to consider, I will never be sleeping in a homeless shelter (I LOVE you my friends!!!), I have a tiny little savings account, I have 401K to dip into for emergencies, I have a resume, drive, joy and confidence in my ability to succeed at whatever I put my mind to.
My head is up, my eyes are bright, and the future looks wonderful.
This is very scary, but the excitement overriding everything makes the scariness grow tiny.
