T-minus two weeks . . . .
Only two more weeks before my big move to Oakland.
And things really seem to be falling into place.
I've got my new place, which is cute and affordable. (I love my hardwood floors!!)
I have a new job!!!
That's right. I went in for an interview on Tuesday and got offered the job on Wednesday.
I'm so excited!
I'll be working at the California College of the Arts in Oakland, in the Student Records
office. Basically I will be helping students with registration, etc.
I'll be making a little less than I do now, but that's okay. The main goal was to have a job when I moved up there. Plus, I'll have benefits, which I have to pay a little more for since the school is so small (I'm going from a 15,000 student campus to 1,800- that's a BIG difference).
But there are other perks:
-It is right by new place so I can basically ride my bike and be at work in 10 minutes
-I can take any art classes that don't conflict with my work schedule for FREE!
-No more working weekends (I think?)
-And I have a feeling I'm going to really like the people I'll be working with.
It seems very casual.
-And the Best Perk: I'm not working in a bookstore!! Good Bye Book Business!!!
The next couple of weeks I'm trying to hang out with a few old friends, most who don't
seem interested in spending time with me. *Shrug* . . . . Another reason why I'm moving.
I'm looking forward to being closer to the City and going out to more clubs and meeting new people.
I really, really need this change and I have a feeling that a lot more opportunities will be coming my way.
