Just Like a Rainstorm

Just like a rainstorm....

And just that quickly with all the hurt and bitterness of last week, I feel it draining away from me slowly (granted it's still there) but I can feel it leaving me slowly as I prepare to for a completely new chapter in awesomeness heading my way. What do I mean? Well two things.

I had the interview with Barry Wyche in the Career Services Offices this past Tuesday for the Workforce Recruitment Program and he was just telling me since I was graduating and since he has evidence of my previous experience with the program itself, that there's a good possibility it would help me land some positions by the end of the semester. Which would be great. It would officially mean I have a job before the semester is done, which would be fabulous in many different ways.

Speaking of Barry Wyche, I have to mention that I was very thrown off by the interview. When I spoke to Lori Simmons last year about the position, she was a perfectly normal lady who was very nice and we just laughed and talked the whole time. It really didn't seem like an interview to me but I found out later that she told her superiors, that I had the best interview of anyone she worked with. Well this year when I went in to speak with him, I don't know what I was expecting, but I was expecting something a little closer to last year and what I got was a guy who was extremely, and I put emphasis on EXTREMELY disabled. He had a really hard time with speech and his body was crooked and warped and it took a long moment for me to compose myself so I could understand what he was saying. But...eventually I did do it and I think it turned out pretty well. So that's good news number one.

News Number Two: I emailed the fashion school on Thursday because I hadn't heard anything from them, so I emailed just to make sure that they had receieved the packet and to ensure there weren't any questions involved. The response I receieved from Vicki (fairly quickly, I might add) is that she receieved and was impressed by the contents which is good news for me. However now she wants me to take it to the next level and I have to send her information about my disability (which my mom has) and she wants to physically come all the way to the school in LA. Well I had no intention of traveling to LA since I thought that the interview was going to be conducted via telephone over a long distance conference. However, she says it's neccessary to see if the school will fit me and since I have to have a meeting with them anyway I should probably go ahead and come down. So what does that mean? That means that I'm going to HOLLYWOOD for Spring Break!!!!! The reason being, I don't have any other time to go over there that I'm not missing class, and the concept of missing more of Sally Valhabla classes is not very appealing. Her damn concept of Physical Science is very different from anything I've ever had so it's gonna take an actual ounce of concentration to pull off something good in her class. Speaking of which, I just had two tests this past week and I think that they were pretty good on the whole. One of which I didn't study for (World Lit.) and I probably should have. But I won't make that mistake again, for sure.

So anyway about the Hollywood trip everything is set up and ready to go. I just need to do the hard part and wait for the day to come around. I'm going on March 5th, (which is in the middle of Spring Break) and me and Matt are gonna drive up to Raleigh where I'm gonna leave from RDU at 10:30 in the morning and I'll be flying to LAX by 4:30 in the afternoon. The hostel I booked a room at is right in the Entertainment district of LA so it's right there with everything. It gives me a little time to go gawking on Wednesday evening. I'm trying to set up an appointment on Thursday morning/afternoon at FIDM giving me the rest of the day to look and then I'll have all of Friday to gaze at the city. In a word, I think it's gonna be AWESOME!!!!

In conjunction with that, I just talked to my parents and they confirmed that they will send me to Puerto Rico for my graduation present, if that's what I want. So I think this year is shaping up to be quite interesting. Quite interesting indeed. And it's only getting started.

Oh and by the way, somehow the girls here have convinced me to pull off another F & I show here at UNCP. So we'll see how THAT one goes. Later!
