GOOD NEWS!

I can't even type this calmly enough to build up to it.

I'M AN ORIENTATION LEADER!!!

I got it! I got the job! I'm so incredibly excited, and its been a whole 24 hours since I received the acceptance email.

I'm so happy. There were so many people that applied, and they picked me. I made it. I wanted this so badly, and I'm SO happy. We have our first meeting on December 7. I can't WAIT.

I'm not sure if I've even really explained what an OL is to you guys. Basically, we lead orientation groups for freshman and transfer orientations. We go through extensive training all next semester because we have to know everything there is to know about this school. I had a lot of fun at my orientation, and it was so informative, so I want to be able to do that for students coming to school here next year. Plus, we get paid. A lot. So I'll ge to have fun, do something useful with my time, AND get paid?! Yes, yes, and HECK YES.

More good news, I made some new friends and hung out with them last night. The girls in Alyssa's new suite on the floor below me. They're really cool. I spent the night with them last night, even though my room is literally just one floor up. And at breakfast this morning they asked if I would be hanging out with them again. Maybe now I won't just sit in my room anymore on Friday nights like I was going to do last night.

Today I'm working on homework. I just finished writing a review for theatre and now I'm going to work on my biology lab paper and presentation. So. Much. Fun. But its going to be okay. I just have to get through the next few days, then its off to the sunshine state for Thanksgiving food and fun with my family! I'm so excited.

I really feel like I'm in a good place right now. I'm just happy.
