I had my first class today. It was mostly an introductory thing. I am beginning to see the scale of the thing I'm taking on - it seems immense and difficult. Well...I am not here for a holiday, I suppose. I am here to WORK and SUFFER and look at OLD THINGS. (yyyyaaaayyyyyyyy ( Read more... )

Bah! Think of all the things you've done and learned that you'd never thought you'd do. Remember simply the times you were intimidated by a syllabus on the first day of class, only to leave the final exam weeks later satisfied at how much you learned! You wouldn't guess what I did today, nor how well I did it! I received and accepted an invitation to interview for an accounting job! Accounting! You will be proud of me (with caveats)!

I say this because I also never thought I could want something and get it.

Goodness! That's my exclamation mark quota for a whole year! Expect many unenthusiastic comments in the future.

This is true. The degree to which I distrust my brain is a little upsetting. But I can't help it sometimes! It is easier to doubt.

I must ask how your interviews went!

I postponed one until tomorrow. That's the more feasible but less desirable promotion at my current job. I should do well with that, but, if I were my boss, I would hire from the outside because it's clear that I'm going to leave in the next few months. But on the other hand, if he promotes me, then he gives my replacement several months to learn the job while I'm still around, and can hire a less expensive worker for now ( ... )

I understand the 'disconnected' feeling, as I've felt it about this part-time business I've started. It has an unreal feeling to it, probably because I'm doing it from home as well as on the net, but the money going into the bank appears to be real money, so I guess the business is too. But starting something and having it work - that's kind of odd.

Yes, despite all outward things telling us it is so, we still refuse to believe. Oh, our minds!
