I have been extremely selfish lately, keeping the mind-blowing and humbling life experiences all to myself. The last time you heard from me I had received an e-mail for that Assistant ESL Instructor opening. This morning I took the grammar portion of the exam, I felt confident for the most part. I'll find out in about two weeks whether I placed in the top 15 overall scores which will be the determining factor of whether I move on to the next level of interviews.
Things have been busy these last few weeks with my internship, I've had the chance to help out with other programs this organization has. My internship is coming to an end this Monday, we are having our culmination event and that'll be the end of it. I'll still be going into the office of course to make the last video and to make sure paperwork is in order. Click here to check out the videos I've put together myself and click -> SOSMentor ShapeUp to find out more about this wonderful organization. Photos and video are all done by yours truly.
Work at the retail store is very blah these days, I go in about every other day, about 4 times a week for four hour shifts. It is honestly very irritating but kind of nice because it allows me to reset myself and not be too annoyed when I'm there. I have now focused on enjoying my coworkers more than meeting specific sales numbers etc. Don't get the wrong idea, I still provide exceptional attention to customers when they need help, I am just not completely consumed with attaining specific sales numbers etc.
The certification program for UCI Extension starts June 22. I'll probably move that same week, into a place that has been donated to me, you heard right. My humbling experience for this week was meeting this wonderful woman who is a friend of a friend. I was introduced to her many many years ago without my knowing (Yes, that is possible). She has known me, not personally but through the words of a special someone who only speaks wonders of me. We have finally met after more than a decade of her knowing about me and she has changed my life. I've only known her for three days now, how has she changed my life you wonder . . .
I was originally introduced to her to house-sit. The day after we finally met at her house she calls me offering me to stay at her house in the Orange Country area, free of charge!!! You know that sinking feeling when you're descending on a roller coaster? That's exactly the feeling that came over me, not believing what I was hearing. I was in utter disbelief as I reflected on the curves life has thrown at me, both painful and rewarding. Life has such an unbelievable way of making up for its hard times.
I cannot say it enough, I LOVE LIFE! I LOVE LIFE! I LOVE LIFE!
Just one last thing I forgot to mention. I apologize for keeping all the excitement to myself, it has officially been one year since I received my Permanent Residency!!! Another thing I realized is that I get to have a double celebration on my birthday. May 3rd is the day my Residency was officially approved. July 3rd is the day I was born :) I always look forward to my birthday but this is going to be an exceptionally special one.
Thank you for keeping up.
MUCH LOVE!!!
