School is over in two weeks, yes in TWO weeks! In two weeks, I will be a college grad! It is such an overwhelming thought to think about being done with school and having to venture out into the "real" world, but I can't help but feel some relief knowing that I will have accomplished something great. I've been feeling kind of overwhelmed with everything I have to do before the semester is over, but the knowledge I have that the Lord is on my side and there to help me has really given me the extra strength I need to make it through. Plus, yesterday, church was just amazing so I feel like the extra spiritual charge I got from hearing so many great testimonies and lessons was just what I needed to know that I can make it through these next two weeks. Once I make it to the end of the semester the fun part of really focusing on finding my dream job looms ahead of me.
Speaking of jobs, I had my first job interview last week and after it was over, I just wanted to go hide under a blanket and never come out again. It was that bad (at least I feel like it was). The interview was over the phone and I was totally unprepared for it as I thought they were just calling me to set up a time to actually do it. And technically it was just a pre-screening so it wasn't even a real interview. Either way, when I got the call from them saying they were calling to actually do the thing, I immediately got super nervous. My mind went totally blank as I tried to think of the things I learned you should and shouldn't do in an interview(thank you Business Spanish class for teaching me that), which means I probably did all the things you SHOULDN'T do. The interview was half in Spanish, half in English. They asked me to say the alphabet in Spanish and I did fine until the letter h, which I totally forgot how to say. This silly song I learned way back in middle school Spanish popped into my head and I was trying to sing it(in my head) to help me remember, but my mind blanked in the same spot. So, I just skipped it and was able to finish the rest of the alphabet without a problem. That was embarrassing! Luckily I made it through the English alphabet (that would have been REALLY embarrassing if I'd forgotten that.)
Long story short, I am not feeling very optimistic about this job, but as far as interviews go, I can only go up from here, right? I sure hope so! Thanks for letting me vent a little; sometimes it's nice to have a blog just so I can do that. Now to get back to writing my 10 page paper...
PS This video is one of my favs so I have to share it. SO hilarious! You gotta love blind dates...
