You know how life always works out according to our careful planning?
Two weeks ago, I was dodging questions about my future, vague answers and quick subject changes my saving grace. And then...SUDDENLY SEYMOUR, I had a plan.
Outdated musical references aside, in one single week...
- I bought a suit.
- I took the VCLA.
- I spent some much needed time with my friends in the 'burg.
- I presented my graduate research.
- I went to a Julia Nunes Living Room Concert in Philadelphia.
- I had a job interview.
- I house hunted.
- I got a job.
- I signed a lease.
- I graduated.
- I wished a very dear friend a very happy birthday with a very good wine.
- I met the children that will be my very first students as a real teacher.
- I took the RVE.
- I had my wisdom toof pulled.
"Isn't it funny how you only understand a place before you leave? And suddenly everything looks so shiny..." - How About YouNext week I celebrate Christmas with my married brother for the first time ever. I intend to throw my whole heart and soul into our celebrations this year, I have a week to celebrate Christmas, that is my number one priority.
However, somewhere in that week, I also need to babysit, house-sit, move to the other side of the state, get a background check and become an official school employee, and celebrate NYE in NYC with the most wonderful girl in the world. I have a feeling that, by next Christmas, life will be radically different... for one thing, I'll be a big girl with a paycheck.
Life in your twenties is just a constant transition. I am a thousand things right now, but most of all I am blessed.
