I should be doing hw instead of posting, but...
Okay, I try to make a point of journaling about important stuff that happens to me. It's most of the point of why I keep a journal. Lately, I haven't been very good about it, but I'm trying.
On Sunday I drove up with Ashley and Mike to Cleveland, stopping at Ashley's old roommate's house in Dayton along the way with Val and Judith. Once we got up to Cleveland I was treated to a late-night tour of Cleveland before we met up with some SCA~affilated people for dinner at Applebee's. I use that term lightly since I think most of them haven't been active for quite awhile. But anyway, three of them work at TMW. I told them that I was up in the area for a job interview. One of the people at TMW, Tricia, said off-handedly, 'if you have any experience with tech support, we have an opening at our place.' Next thing I know I've given her a copy of my resume and I have an chance at that job over there. Neat! Anyway, everyone at the dinner was very nice and did a good job of making me feel at home, even though I was hours away from Miami. It was very nice.
The next day I wake up and take public transit to my interview. This was the stressful part. The interview itself went pretty decently. I was a nervous wreck most of the way there because I was constantly afraid I was going to miss my transfer or something. Mike, who works at the public transit headquarters in Cleveland gave me his number and assured me I could call him as much as I needed to. I think I called him like 5 times just for things like "okay, what side of the road should I be on?" and "are we sure this bus is supposed to come here?" It was all very silly. I ended up going straight from the interview to downtown Cleveland where I grabbed some early dinner with Mike then walked over to the Greyhound station. This part was also stressful, as the bus I was supposed to get on said "Buffalo" but was headed for Cincinnati. W/e. I spent most of the bus ride home studying for my exam today. I would have liked to relax a bit more, but that's what I get for being such a procrastinator.
So I get back to Cinci and Reiner picks me up. We had a nice chat about SugoiCon and the interview.
I noticed that both of my roommates have called me multiple times just to check on me and make sure that I am doing okay. This was really great of them. The most surprising part of this whole adventure is how much people were willing to support me the whole way. If it weren't for my super awesome friends, I would not have been able to make this trip. Everyone was really excited for me and very willing to help me out with anything I needed. That you so much, everyone! You are all so wonderful! I don't deserve to have such amazing friends <3
