2011 is going to be amazing. I am sure of it if any of the coming days compare to the past few. My life has changed almost immediately, and I am so excited and scared for the coming months. In ways I can't explain, everything is falling into place and I have so much confidence for my future career.
Monday I was given an opportunity to interview for a Community Coordinator position at Housing. After 2.5 years as an RA, I was pretty confident at my abilities. I'd spent the majority of winter break preparing my resume and cover letter. I thought about why I wanted this job constantly and all of the reasons why I knew I was ready for it.
Tuesday afternoon I had a phone interview.
Tuesday night I had a job offer. I ran around the house screaming because I was so excited.
Wednesday night I moved back to Cedar to start training.
This morning, I started with a judicial training and helped figure out how I'll be involved in RA training over the next few days. I also worked on hall decs and started planning the next two weeks. My last two weeks as an RA. Ever. Which is more bittersweet than any other experience I can remember. I am dreading telling my residents at our floor meeting on Sunday. But, as sad as I am about leaving JC1, I'm excited for a new challenge. I'm more than ready and I know I can do this.
So, for the next two weeks, I'll train, shadow, study (for my one class, because guess what?! CCs don't have to be full-time students!), and try to learn as much as I can about a job where every day has unique challenges. And then it will begin-- whether I'm ready of not.
It's for sure this time: these salad days are over.
