Transitions

Talk about new beginnings. On Tuesday, my Grandma came to East Lansing to help me pack up the rest of my apartment because I have to be out by the 21st. We went to lunch at Brody hall and we always park across the street in the Kellogg hotel and conference center.

I decided to pick up an application in person because my application online didn't go through. I was going to fill it out while we ate lunch, but my Grandma suggested I just fill it out right there and get it over with. So as I was finishing up the application, one of the men that was at the desk when I asked for the application came over and asked me if I was finished yet. He looked it over a bit, asked me some questions, and scheduled an interview for Thursday at 1. That same day, after my Grandma left, I got a call from the manager at the Wild Goose Inn, a bed and breakfast right by campus.

I told him up front that I already had an interview scheduled with the Kellogg hotel, and he asked if he could still meet with me and show me around just in case, so I agreed.

Yesterday, I had my interview with the Kellogg and it went awesome. When it was done they let me know that they were interviewing a few more people and they would let me know by Wednesday either way. So I headed over to Wild Goose Inn and I stayed there for TWO hours. Me and Al talked about everything, and I got to see the two houses with 6 differently themed rooms. He has two German exchange students and one Spanish living in the house that occasionally help him out. Very cool.

So I leave that interview and immediately call my mom. Two minutes into the conversation, I see a call is coming in on the other line so I ask my mom if she wouldn't mind waiting so I can see who it is. It was the Kellogg Center, offering me the job. 4 hours after the interview, they had already made their decision.

I went into high stress mode immediately :( I went from not having any job prospects for a month to two offers in one day. I was hoping one would offer me the position and it would be easy, or at least one would stand out as the true winner, but they both are just perfect, great jobs. I know I will be happy with whatever job I choose, but I need to mull it over. So I had a crazy day of a chapter ending (moving out of my apartment) and a chapter beginning (new job).

This week-end I will be going to visit my friend Angelica in Grand Rapids, and we're going to go tubing! It's going to be a nice relaxing week-end, exactly what I need! Last week-end was fun too. It was my friend Erin's birthday and we hung out in her pool and went to Mallory's later and had a bonfire and hula hooped.

2 more weeks until Chicago! I can't wait for the sweet music to invade my eardrums :)
