Movin' On Up

I GOT THE JOB I GOT THE JOB I GOT THE JOB!!!

Okay for those of you who I haven't said anything to so as not to look like a fool should things not turn out (as mentioned before), I got a REAL job at Columbia. It's a part time job as the Administrative Assistant to the Director of Institutional Research. It's a position in the same office I'm in now, and the lady who used to work there quit awhile ago, and I was essentially doing a lot of her job since.

When it came time to hire someone new, her boss (above Director of Inst. Research) suggested I apply, ya know, because I've been doing it anyways. Well I did, and I got the job! Admittedly I was their second choice, some other person was slightly more qualified than I, but she got another job already, so I win! So now I have a real job that's not copy and file, and even better, I'll be getting paid a large amount to do this. CAPITALZ AND EXCLAMAT!ONS ARE HOW I FEEL RIGHT NOW!!!!1111oneoneone.

Phew, so I'm super glad I got this. It will make paying the bills a ton easier and I'll actually feel like I have some worth at work. It's not going to be easy at first though, I think I'll have quite a bit to learn, but I'm pretty sure I can step up and do it.

In other news, other things in Baggy's life are changing. I just took up a minor (finally) in management, meaning I'll be able to stay full time my last year of school (next year even though it should be this year). This is good, because I was able to convince the school to extend my scholarship for one more year too, since this whole extra year of school thing wasn't really my choice. Hoorah!

On the slightly negative side, this job means no working in a field related to my major this year. Any internships or other part time jobs will only be able to happen in the summer when I can spare another 20 hours on another job. Ah well, I can worry about that later.

Here's to hoping that this job isn't too over my head!
