Today is April 30th, 2012.
Tomorrow is May 1st, 2012, and I am sitting somewhere between excited and nauseated at the thought that tomorrow I start my new job.
I am excited for obvious reasons... I have been looking for a job like this for 6 months! I spent countless hours pounding the pavement, answering phone calls, going on interviews and searching Craigslist trying to get a job like this one. I really can't tell you how relieved I was to get the phone call 2 weeks ago when they offered me the job. Now, less than 24 hours until I'm suppose to walk through the door for my first day of work, I am a little less relieved, and a little more nervous than I thought I would be.
I'm really not sure why excitement is turning into a freak out.... I think the reality that I am starting my career tomorrow - the job I plan to do for the rest of my life - is starting to set in. I've never really felt so locked in and tied down.... all the other jobs that I've ever had have clearly never had this much impact on the rest of my life.
I'm also freaking out because I'm going from working 2 days a week to working 6 days a week, as I'm also keeping my other job as a secondary source of income...
Last year on this day I also felt pretty freaked out. On April 30th, 2011, I had just finished my very first week of hairdressing school... The last week of April in the last 2 years of my life have pretty much been life changing.
I have decided that I am going to spend the rest of the day trying to pump myself up for this new job, rather than freaking myself out and making myself nervous and paranoid like I normally would do. I'm not very good at this... so we'll see how it goes.
Blog, and be happy...
Kyleigh.
