First Professional Interview

I had my first professional interview. Yes, the one I have been talking about since the first time I blogged. I think it went well, however I was a nervous wreck and may have possibly blanked out. I don't know. Haha. I definitely think i could have done better. But isn't that the feeling everyone has after any interview? It has been a long time since I interviewed and to add the level of professionalism is in fact intimidating. I always get a knot in my stomach and I forget everything. I'm one of those people who could tell you everything we studied in class, but when you put it in test format all knowledge escapes me. Interviewing feels like a test. I do have to say that even though I want this opportunity really badly, if I don't get it, the experience of the interview was something I can learn from for the next opportunity I pursue. I will find out shortly whether or not I got the job, hopefully good news will come my way. I shall keep you all posted!

Getting rid of nerves

So, I've had job interviews before and seem to do well in them since I've gotten the jobs. But, and there is a big but... The interview I have on Weds. is the first one of my adult life. It is with a company that can send me to Japan so that I can teach English. I would love this opportunity to go live in Japan while doing something I love. I've finally finished my lesson plan and tomorrow i'm going to have a friend who is an ESL teacher check it. Thank goodness for friends like her. Although I'm not really saying anything in this particular blog, I feel the need for an outlet for my nerves. I'm sure many graduates feel this way. For so long we were students and we became good at that because that was our job. Change is always a scary thing. Becoming an adult is a scary thing.

Vacation in Florida

I got to go home for a short week. While home will always be with my family, I also consider my home to be in Orlando. I miss living down there and being with my friends. I really hope that I do get the opportunity to go to Japan and teach but if the chance does not present itself I am meant to be in Florida. April took me around to different apartments in the area and I found the perfect one. I know its right because I can picture myself living there. So I might be living there in about a month or about a year from now. I know once I'm in Florida I'll settle there. This apartment was so cute and perfect. Thanks to April for bringing it to my attention. Otherwise I would have never known.
What else did I do. I got to play in the parks which was wonderful. Pineapple Dole whip is the best ice cream ever created. I had it three times. If you've never had it, I recommend when you go to Magic Kingdom its a must have. Spaceship Earth was brilliantly redone. My dad and I laughed so hard we cried. Also at Epcot April and I had dinner in Paris where I had the best leek and potato soup that was served by the cutest Frenchman I have ever seen. Seriously he should have been a model with that smile. April and I got to spend a good deal of time together although it is never quite enough. Adam and I went minigolf which we both haven't been to Pirates cove since we lived down there. I'll need to brush up on my game before our next rematch. The week flew by so quickly and here I am already home waiting for the next chapter of my life to commence... hopefully in Tokyo.
