First Step Towards a Career

I woke up this morning a little bit more anxious than usual. I had an interview today; however, it wasn't really just a typical interview. I don't get anxious about those. I realized that this was my first interview that could turn into a career opportunity. This realization made me think about graduation and the idea that graduation is coming up really soon.

I don't feel like I'm unprepared; however, I'm terrified of going off into the proverbial "real world." I decided that I should make a blog to highlight the high (and low) points of my journey from the beginning of my final undergraduate semester, on through job searches, graduate school admissions, relationships (both romantic and non-romantic), parties, struggles, triumphs, and indifference. I don't really have a set purpose for this particular blog YET, but I really want to keep track of my journey through these times so that I can look back on these experiences--hopefully--as a successful, hard-working, family-oriented adult who cherishes his time as an emerging adult.

In case any of you were wondering, I did end up getting the job and will be starting in public relations at Newport News Williamsburg International Airport on February 1st, 2010. The job seems like it fits my personality, research interests, and career interests perfectly. I couldn't ask for a better opportunity, and now that I have it, I'm going to run with it! I'm REALLY going to try to keep up with this blog and update it frequently. I'm looking forward to this process and think the future has a lot in store for me.
