I am becoming a grown-up.

Ok, so kind of a lot to update about.

Went to Spokane about two weeks ago, interviewed for a job and looked at apartments.
Found out last week I got the job.
A job with my actual degree.
I will be working at a woman's emergency shelter in downtown Spokane, 2-10pm, Sunday-Wednesday.
Went to Portland this past weekend with my mom. Went a a NW Returnee Conference for students who studied/traveled abroad. Spent my entire Saturday morning/afternoon/early evening there. Was informative/fun, but missed the only sunshine that was out while we were there.
Had to be the wing-man while my mom drove back in pouring down rain (in Oregon) and a snow storm (in Washington). Took FOREVER to get home!!!
Found out today my application for an apartment in Spokane was approved.
Start work (training) February 10th @ 9:00am.
Therefore, must move in to my new apartment before then, meaning next week sometime.

I am growing up. It's quite odd.

I am having a roller-coaster of emotions. But at the end of the day, I am hopeful things will work out.
