"You know what they say about New Orleans girls: They never leave, but if they do, they always come back."
I suppose so.
Because I'm moving back home.
Because... I GOT A JOB!!
I am the new media relations assistant for the Sun Belt Conference, offices located in downtown New Orleans.
I'm sad to leave Chicago, but I'm beyond thrilled that despite the odds, I managed to get this job (technically, it's a year-long internship, but it's paid, and this opens so many, many doors for me). Getting that phone call today made me feel like all of this -- moving, grad school, the debt, Chicago, DePaul, the obstacles of not knowing where my path would lead but being confident enough to trust where it was going -- was worth it.
I am relieved, nostalgic, a little sad, thrilled, excited, and so very happy that this opportunity has come my way.
Now to start packing, sell my furniture, ship stuff home, and figure out what I'm going to do about my apartment lease. So much to do, but this is the best kind of problem to have.
