Grown-Up Life Begins in Less than 12 Hours.

What a summer! I can hardly believe I am standing on the final page of this chapter in my life waiting to turn the page tomorrow morning and start an entirely new adventure. If you would have asked me what I was going to do with my life when I was a freshmen at Truman I would have never guess this. As a wide-eyed freshman my ambitions were tied up in marriage and becoming a teacher. But here I am, getting ready to start a new job with W.W. Norton Publishing Company and moving to a new city. So much excitement and change all at one time!

While I am incredibly excited about the new opportunities I have ahead of me, I can't help but be a but nervous about what the future holds. Specifically, I have a fear I will allow myself to become completely owned by my job and lose sight of the things that are most important to me in my life: my relationships with friends and family. I suppose the only way to find out is to dive in head first and try to stay afloat.

Musings from gate B.

It's been such a long time since I've posted and so much has happened! Here is sit in LaGuardia airport waiting to board my flight home from a huge job interview in NYC with WW Norton Publishing Co. These past three weeks have been insane!-- even dreamlike. I still feel like I will wake up at any minute and find myself in C-Hall reminding myself that I'm still a freshman in college!

 Right now I'm feeling a mix of emotions, but all of them are tinged with excitement! I never would have thought I would be in this position one month ago, heck, even 2 weeks ago! I would have never guessed, as an English major, I would land a decent job right out of college! I feel so incredibly blessed to be in this situation and hopeful for what my future has in store.

More updates to come!!
