Having graduated college last April, the ending of summer is bittersweet for me since I won't be returning to school in September. It's still something I'm not used to-- I think it'll take a few years for it to really sink in, and I think most of my classmates would agree. It feels like I've missed out on valuable time on an approaching deadline, when nothing's really due.
So, summer's ending, but forever's beginning--I got the call today. A company wants to hire me as a Graphic Artist starting next Tuesday, September 3rd! I am excited but still nervous. I feel like the work is completely tailored to my strengths, but it's in the type of large corporate work environment I'm not accustomed to. The work seems really interesting, though! I start with a 6-month contract that will either get renewed with a longer contract, or if I'm not a good fit, they'll terminate it. So there's still a fair amount of nerves to be had-- will I make the cut? Will I fit in with their crew? I guess I'll know in six months.
Other than the new job, I am excited for fall weather, and Halloween, and going for hikes in the autumn forest sans bugs (after all the dopey wasps have died, of course), and more pumpkin pies, and ice-skating, and the Supernatural convention in October!! It's weird, though, to think of those cold winter months without being in school :I My ol' classmates and I will have to arrange meetings at Starbucks or Tim's to have coffee together or something, to try and emulate the feeling of being back at school |D I miss it already!
