In one week and 2 days I will be starting my training as an ARA.
I know I'm ready, this is a job that I have earned and will be fabulous in. I just can't believe that it is finally time to do it.
I'm scared because I will be the boss of people. A real boss, with firing and hiring responsibilities, and if people hate me then my life will be a nightmare. There shouldn't be a reason for anyone to hate me but still, I'm nervous.
I have a new boss. My old one, Kim, whom I love, was promoted. So she will still be working at the school, just in a more important job. Luckily I will still be in close contact because as my mentor in the field, I'm going to need her help with the grad school stuff. This new boss though is tough, and many people who end up working for her don't like her. I'm hoping that this doesn't happen to me, because my last year of FSC should not be spent hating my boss. It isn't that I slack off, because to be honest, I am one of the most hard working people in the department, it's just that if she hates me then again my life is a living hell.
I'm just scared that in a week I'm starting a job that I've wanted for the past year and I'm worried that I just won't be good enough. Then again, I am always my toughest critic, so I'm hoping that once I start I will just relax (even if only a fraction).
No matter what happens, it's going to be an interesting year let me tell you that.
