Reasons Why I Know The Real World Won’t Be So Bad

*I’ve won $37 in scratch tickets so far.

*I may be getting a raise at American Eagle because they are excited that I’m coming back. Also, they’ve paid me cold hard cash for the first day.

*Applying for jobs is actually fun. Though I need to stop obsessively checking my email every 5 minutes to see if someone had replied to my application. I also need to be realistic and come to terms with the fact that I won’t be starting off in any company as a high paid executive. I keep envisioning myself in my own office with glass walls, a view of Central Park, beautifully painted walls with unique art and a cherry wood desk. Why cherry, I don’t know, but doesn’t it sound like a nice office?

*There’s a guy at American Eagle, Teddy, who has one of the thickest Boston accents I’ve ever heard. To hear him call across the floor Yo Kathleen! Do we got any more of those lacy spahkle tanks in lahge?! is priceless.

*I’m not going to jinx it by mentioning anything certain, but let’s just say that at 2 pm today, Los Angeles is calling me about a job. Shh. I didn’t say that.

*The thought of apartment hunting makes me giddy with excitement. My ideal apartment? Brick walls on one side of the apartment with a deep yellow painted wall on the somewhere else, and hardwood floors complete with high ceilings. The kitchen will be sectioned off, and the dining area will be in a large nook in the apartment that is windowed floor to ceiling. As long as we’re day dreaming, I’ll have helper monkeys to clean the place and Unicorns to ride from my door to the metro.

*There’s another piece of news I SO want to share about a friend of mine, but can’t yet until I get the whole go ahead. But it’s fucking exciting.

Now I just need to move the hell out of my house. Oh the celebrating that will commence on that joyous day.
