patience pays off

Great news! I have a job!!! I was offered an assistant manager position at The Body Shop in Freeport, Maine yesterday, and I start work on Tuesday! This is so exciting! It means that I can stay in Maine. I'm moving to Maine! Wait ... I suppose I'm already here. But now it's official! And I had an interview at J.Crew yesterday, which went really well. Now I get to play the waiting game with them too! This is all just a grand test of my patience ... which, if you know me, means a lot. I'm actually doing a good job, thank you very much! I've been VERY patient. And it's paying off in big ways!!!

Now I just have to find a place to live. I've been looking at renting a room/subletting from someone for the time being, and then looking for an apartment later. That way I can have a place to live and be more picky about an apartment later. This is scary ... I feel like such a big kid now. I got myself a job and now I need a place to live. Yikes! So exciting! I've looked at one room right outside downtown Freeport, which would be super convenient, so we'll see how that turns out. It seems hopeful, but I'm keeping my eyes open for other options as well. And hopefully I'll get another job at J.Crew too! I'd be happy as a clam at high tide! (That reminds me, I've been eating so much seafood lately ... my goal for the past couple of days has been to not eat any seafood to give myself a break!)

So hopefully I'll have a new place to live and a new address to send out! Yay!

I'll update more once I know more ... here I go wait!
