I GOT THE JOB!!

YES!!!! ARIZONA HERE I COME!!!!! : D

Jill the Irrational Woman

So, I was supposed to hear back about the job yesterday.... Yep, still no news. I did get a rejection e-mail from Mayo about another job and TOTALLY freaked out... until I realized that it was a different job number and then I became a normal person again. Emotionally I've been kind of all over the place the last few days.

Other highly emotionally charged situation: the fact that guys have attempted holding my hand this month... thats right. Not one but TWO. Apparently I'm giving off some "I'm running like the wind" vibe that is probably setting the men off to act rather boldly. The first guy, well there was no excuse. It was a first date and he didn't really KNOW me (facebook stalking doesn't count). The second guy, well, I've known him forever but I am really not very sure of my feelings on the subject since he's always given off a "we're just friends" vibe (talking about dates with other girls, etc.) Plus I've been trying to move out of Utah for 6+ months.

Since I'm being so bipolar EVERYWHERE right now, I'm going to watch some happy videos online until I am no longer being quite so crazy. Then I can be productive and move forward with my day rationally.




My favorite part of this video is about 1:30. I really like watching the swing dancing too. Dancing is one of those things that makes me feel a deep healthy happy, like having a good laugh. I went social dancing for the first time in a while last night and it really was like soaking in the sunshine.



This picture made me think of something Maren said about men being mystified by the names of colors.



This video always makes me happy.



Same with this one.

To Be or Not To Be

I have a job interview on Thursday. I'm REALLY excited yet terrified at the same time. If I butcher this, I may be in Provo a lot longer than I thought I'd be. On the other hand, the Lab manager e-mailed me to let me know they were going to post the job and asked to interview me less than two days later. I'm pretty sure she wouldn't go through the trouble if she didn't think I'd be worth hiring.

So in this last general conference Lynn G. Robbins of the Seventy gave a really good talk about doing vs. being. Sooo... I recently came up with a long term "To Be" List to go along with my life "To Do" List (aka, the bucket list). Hopefully this is a good start but if you can think of more, I'd love to hear what you think.
