Picking My Brain

Really, I think it is. I couldn’t even sleep last night. I’m so wound up over everything, I’m physically shaking and I have a headache. I can’t concentrate on anything.

So here’s my plan for the greatest day ever:

Step One: Snow. Completed!

Step Two: Ace my interview this afternoon.

Step Three: Finally be approved for graduation.

Okay, here’s what I’m talking about. Step One: The weather forecast has been mentioning snow for almost a week now, but of course we haven’t seen any. So suddenly someone looked outside and said it was snowing. It’s been snowing pretty good for about two hours now and it’s starting to stick. Ben said that it’s supposed to snow until midnight tonight. We could get a good coating!

Step Two: My boss has been talking about two open positions in the Training and Development department here at Wawa Corporate for a few weeks now. The job sounds amazing, getting to create and design training and other materials. Plus, it’s a permanant position. I could actually say I have a career! This whole time my boss has been saying that there’s no guarantees, she can’t promise anything. Out of the blue yesterday, she called me to set up an interview today for the job! So at 3:30 this afternoon I’m interviewing. I don’t know how fast I’ll find out anything. There’s two positions open, and I think 4 people are interviewing. Out of the 4 people I probably have the least chance. The others all have at least 6 years of corporate experience and have lots of other Wawa projects on their resumes. But who knows, for the next few weeks I’m actually working for Joyce, who would be my boss if I get the position, so hopefully that’s a plus for me. She’s already seen some of my ideas and how I work.

Step Three: My professor is supposed to post my grades from the class I took this semester by 6pm tonight. According to my calculations, I’m like 2 or 3 points from the grade I need to get a 2.0 GPA to be eligible for graduation. Right now it’s 1.97. I think if my grade estimate is correct, I would end up with a 1.99. So I sent an email to the professor as soon as I was done with my final to see if there was anything I could do to earn those few points. He hasn’t gotten back to me, so I guess I just have to wait until tonight. I’m just hoping that a miracle occurs somewhere along the line and I can get approved.

So that’s my day today. I’m completely nervous and anxious. This could either be the greatest day of my life, or the worst. So far the signs are that it’s the best, it’s snowing and the cafeteria had exactly the lunch I wanted today. Of course, it’s probably all in my head. I’m delusional from no sleep last night. But as soon as I know anything, I’m sure the world will know.
