Aaandd....breathe
So, I got the job. Phew!
It's not like this job will offer me sack-loads of money (not even close). But it's for an organization that I care about, and I will be working in the performing arts world, which I LOVE and MISS and cannot WAIT to return to. Also, the person I interviewed with said that while he knew I would not want want to make a career out of this job, there is room for growth, if I decide I want to continue working in the industry. So...huzzah! Celebrations all around.
Gosh, I feel kind of grown up. I now have two jobs that don't pay great but pertain to my career interests, as opposed to one job that pays decent enough, but is really "just a job." The great thing is that I feel like am taking advantage of my circumstances. I CAN do this right now; I don't have a family to support, and I am young enough experience all sorts of cultural events at the expense of a smaller paycheck. I feel like things are finally starting to come together, and that my decision to start over is beginning to pay off.
Yay for me. :)
On to Phase 2: The GRE/graduate school. I think it will be MUCH less stressful than this getting a job thing. Yup. Don't foresee any mental breakdowns at all. And once I get in, (if I get in) I'm sure it will be a walk in the park. Not challenging at all.
The only question now is, should I celebrate by reading more of Wicked (which, by the way is so different from the musical. I am still digging it, but it is not at all what I expected) or by watching Secretary? (Okay, so maybe my social life still needs work.)
