Life Update

That news had to be on it's own, I have other topics I'd love to share with you.

Apparently I've been at SMC for so long I have accumulated enough units and high enough grades to be invited to the honor society. Keep in mind I have been taking classes there since I was a freshman in High School. Big woop! I have a Bachelor's it would be kind of embarrassing if I didn't get it haha. So I got that a couple days ago, it really was a surprise because I don't really try to be a part of the SMC community, just the sub-culture of my individual classes.

ALSO this Tuesday was my last day of training and tomorrow is my first full day of work at the best second job anyone could have. I not only found a job in this tumultuous economic environment, but I got a job with one of the most respected companies in the world.

The gifts this grandiose life is giving me are everything I've ever wanted (some I could not have imagined) and I am looking forward to what awaits.

MUCH LOVE!!!

JACKPOT!!!

Greenie was the ultimate jackpot, but like I said before none of this feels real . . . UNTIL NOW . . .

I HAVE A DRIVERS LICENSE/CA ID!!!!!!

It is insane to think about how powerful and meaningful this piece of plastic is. From the minute a person gets their Residency and a State Government issued identification you rise to a higher tier of existence. A higher tier of existence . . . how sad is that? We are all human beings yet so not equal (The equal part should be in quotation marks).

I've got so much love it makes me dizzy

The Real Life

Not so real yet but I'm certainly getting a great taste for what this new life is going to be like. Today I woke up at 5:30, tried to catch the bus, it made me late but I got saved by a new friend that works with me and actually lives really close to me. It's crazy how easy it is to wake up early when you've got something to look forward to. Just like when my parents took me to Disneyland when I was a kid I'd be up at 4am ready to go! I'm going to be living this constantly . . . I have not felt like this in a very long time, since high school basically. Not this powerful and motivated and excited anyway. Not saying I didn't love college but it became a struggle after a while of seeing no change with this whole residency thing - living an uncertain life takes a toll on an individual with a lot of spirit. BUT I'M BACK!

I know I keep saying how lucky I am to have the people I have in my life, but some people sometimes just surprise you. This one particular person is going to become my mentor at this new job, I know it already. The willingness of this person (I wish I could tag people in my blogs bc he needs to know I will make sure he knows how much he is changing my life). The willingness of this individual to help me is just amazing, and it's inspiring. He was telling me he was asked about me after my interviews and what kind of role he thought I would take in the store, and he had it right. It took me three days to figure out what I want to work towards but he knew right off the bat.

I cannot finish saying how thankful and lucky and yes, blessed I am to be in these shoes. You may already be tired of hearing it, but I would change nothing about my life. There's no such thing as the perfect life, but learning from everything life throws at you is what it's all about. Recognizing the value of every circumstance, it's so easy -I am chuckling inside as I write this- to talk about not wanting to change anything I've lived so far but I can tell you that while I was going through it I wanted it to end. Not life, just the hardship. Such a bittersweet experience, but I see the value in it now and that is all that matters.

I will stop rambling on, thank you for reading and caring.

MUCH LOVE!!!!
