Interested in what that second interview I had was with? I went through four rounds of interviews with Apple. I had my last interview two days ago, and the very next day I got called with a job offer! Today I accepted that offer from Apple as a Specialist. Yea I've only been with Niketown for about month and a half, but with being awesome comes great responsibility and I must move on to bigger and better things.

Working this short time with Niketown I learned how imperative it is for me to have a job that requires a brain. I could not have lasted much longer at Niketown, obviously had I not had another job offer I probably would've stayed with them just to finish out the year until I leave for grad school.

Today was such an eventful day. I also had to go to the DMV because the temporary driver's license I'd been given was expired. I learn so much everyday. At the DMV I learned that someone with Permanent Residency isn't supposed to be given a Temporary Drivers License, they should be given an Interim Driver' License. That's what I was given today. The person that helped me today noticed that my paperwork with the DMV wasn't filled out properly and the reason I have yet to get my real driver's license is because the expiration date on my permanent residency wasn't filled out which made it more difficult to verify the credibility of my Residency. How ridiculous huh? Long story short, I'll be receiving my real driver's license in 2-3 weeks.

Life is blowing my mind these days, I could not be happier right now. I've said this before but what's happened to me is not just happening to me, it's happening to my parents and my brother too. That just makes this whirlwind of happiness that much more valuable and meaningful and the most amazing thing I could be feeling right now.

I LOVE LIFE SO INTENSELY.

MUCH LOVE!!!!!!

In the News

So now that I'm free and fabulous I've had no time for the news . . . I apologize but you know what, my mom keeps me in check. Obviously these immigration issues are still very important for my family.

There was a report in the news about Obama's announcement of the halting of deportations. Keep in mind these are deportations that have already been served. This means that people who have deportations may have them cancelled and have a real decision taken on their case. Very promising news for those facing one of the most stressful processes of immigration. Obviously a deportation is more like a final notice, but as we all know that wasn't the case for me.

I found an article reporting on this, much better than I can:
White House: We Will Halt Some Deportations

I'll post separately on personal business :)

The Free and Employed Life

wowzers I can't believe it's almost going to be a month since I started working. I have had the most amazing summer of my life.

I must say it was a tad challenging not becoming totally committed to this first job, about a week ago I got called in for interviews with two other places I had applied to. I went to one interview, they decided to go with someone else. The second place I am still waiting for the interview to happen because I couldn't make it to the last group interview session they had.

School is starting up in three weeks, it's all so exciting. I'm going to sign up for the GRE soon and obviously start to prepare for it would be a great idea.

This whole thing still feels like a very temporary thing. I'm actually still waiting for the permanent driver's license to arrive.

Hope life is going great for all of you.

MUCH LOVE!!!
