Yesterday was a good day. It was just what I needed. A happy day at work, followed by a productive and meaningful get together with my boyfriend. We have both been so busy with new things in our lives, I think we were starting to scare each other with the anxious sides of ourselves. It can be scary when trauma hits, or there is just a great big life changing event, and all of a sudden you see a new side of someone you love, and are not sure if you are quite comfortable with that.
But, after yesterday, I am feeling better- much better. I'm feeling optimistic, creative, loved.
Work is wonderful, although since I am new, I have to try to keep myself busy for 9 hours doing not nearly as much as I'd like to be. I can't wait until I reach a point where I get to give tours of the campus, review portfolios, and I'd even love to do a little more data entry. I have thoroughly enjoyed researching dozens of other art colleges, diving into each website, scouring the mass of information until my eyes are sufficienly exhausted.
I even enjoy waking up at 5:45, taking a piping hot shower, making lunch, picking out a piece of my handmade jewelry to wear that day, and listening to music I love in the car. I love getting to my desk, listening to the local commercial-free radio station, and doing whatever I am asked to do. The busier the better. Today I mastered the postage machine, the copier behaved, and I am a pro at printing addresses directly onto a large envelope. The best part of my day was signing a letter to a student with my name, my information. When they call the school to get a tour, they will ask for me.
I. Cant. Wait.
Thankfully, I still have time in the evenings and on the weekends to rest, make jewelry, cook, watch a favorite television show, movie, whatever Id like. Maybe even get a workout in. I couldn't be happier, this feels right. I am so grateful.
