Well, that's funny...

That's funny.

I started this blog expecting to write for a good deal of time about the trials and tribulations of being an underemployed college grad. It felt like the search was going to go on forever.

However, after 50+ job applications... I WAS OFFERED A JOB TODAY!
And I accepted. : )

I have a job. I have a job. I HAVE A JOB. I can't even believe it myself. When I got the e-mail offering the position, the wave of emotion was just immense and I... well, if you know me, you can probably guessed what it looked and sounded like.

I will be moving to Washington DC to be a Faculty Advisor with the National Young Leaders Forum on National Security, Law, and CSI throughout the fall. I will be responsible for 16-20 high school students: facilitating their curriculum, making sure they're organized and where they need to be when they need to be there. This is a position that I've thought about for a long time, since I attended my own National Young Leaders Conference in Washington DC as a junior in high school. It combines all my loves: politics, leadership, and DC into one job!

I just can't belive my luck. Finally.

Thanks to everyone who has supported me and encouraged me and made sure I knew I was loved during the last three months: my family, my friends, my professors, my famiies at the Howmet Playhouse and the Community Foundation...your support has truly gotten me through the confusion and anxiety of this phase of my life. I could not have gotten to this point without the lessons I have learned from all of you and the joy I take from our relationships.
And while having a job is very important, I know that this is the most important aspect of my life.

Thank you.

And thank the Lord I have a job.
