So today truly was an emotional rollercoaster
This job search thing is really hard, especially when those you care about most can't even fake enthusiasm for you because they're so stressed out about jobs themselves. That was a harsh reality today that took away from the excitement of getting an interview offer at Wheelock. It sucks but it's the nature of this process which I already knew, and had confirmed by Crissy and my sister who both graduated from cohorts and went thru this process. I now know who I can talk to about this, and just need to remember that and keep the negative energy away because it isn't good for me or my friendships with those people.
After class I for once did not want to spin, I just wanted to go home and continue to eat my feelings, so that is what I did. Except on the way home, the road that leads to campus was lined with people and kids from all walks of life anxiously awaiting the women's basketball team to drive by to welcome them home. I was getting very emotional about this as it was very "Love Actually" in that love really is all around, and the trigger was 2 little kids giggling with glee holding signs and stretching to see around the corner to see if the girls were coming that unleashed the fucking waterworks I've been holding back all day. I literally sobbed uncontrollably for a solid 10 minutes, and eventually got my shit enough together to get gas and not be the weirdo weeping at the pump.
When I got home, to continue with this day chock full of highs and lows I found my 2nd interview offer of the day in my inbox, from Bennington College (the school I'm OBSESSED with, for the Assistant Director of Student Life position, in which I would wear many hats!!).
Wowza, what a day. ps I <3 Jon Stewart, last night he delivered the most fantastic opening mocking all the crazy right wingers, my fav quote "See now you're in the minority, it's supposed to taste like a shit taco."
Watch and enjoy
