Hip Hip... HOORAY!

As most of you know, I will be graduating with my bachelors degree
in speech pathology in May.

I've been looking for a job in the speech field for the past year...
just a little something to get my feet wet.

Well, this past Thursday I had an interview with the Speech Coordinator
for the Salt Lake School District and the speech pathologist,
Rebecca Barlow,
that is in need of a part-time speech assistant.

The interview was uncanny to say the least. I was nervous
like never before.
I usually show a lot of self confidence and professionalism... not this time.
I was making ridiculous jokes and talking TOO much.
I've NEVER been nervous during an interview but I've also never wanted a job so much.

Well, long story short, I GOT THE POSITION.
I'm now the new speech assistant at Riley Elementary! couldn't be happier...

(This is where I'll be- 2 days a week- learning everything I can about
what makes a good speech pathologist.)

For those of you wondering if I'm still at the Marriott, the answer yes.
I feel like I'll never be able to quit there. I love the people I work with too much.

So now I work 2 days at the Marriott, 2 days at Riley,
2 classes I go to on campus and 2 online.
Yet, Mike still thinks I'll need a hobby. The boy is crazy.
