Reminders

You know, this semester has not been an easy one. Classes have been tough. Projects have been tough. Oh and then there's been that amazing little experience called the job search - total piece of cake, just sunshine and puppies as Katherine D. would say... :-). There have definitely been times where I've gotten down. I've wondered sometimes if my chance is ever gonna come. I've even wondered occasionally if I'm even in the right field or if I really have what it takes to make it (wow I totally sound like a contestant on Project Runway or America's Next Top Model right now). Anyway the point is that it's been tough. But then you get those reminders that actually you are doing the right thing. And I got a big one today.

I'm gonna try not to go into all the details on this cause that would be boring and kinda tacky. But basically I've been working really hard on my exit project, and someone that I respect a lot, who really knows his stuff, and who has really been behind me on this project - and who is not easy to please from what I've heard - told me that, just from my program outline and story, without even seeing the final product of the book, it's an amazing product. I am kinda walking on air a little. The only thing that would make this day better would be a job offer... (hint hint, nudge nudge God :-) ). Seriously though, I'd already had a good day because I'd started putting the book together and realized that this baby I'd been envisioning really was a good idea. And to hear the same from the mouth of someone that knows museums is just incredible. And that's before showing the finished product!

Hearing that just renewed my faith that I am in the right field. I do know my stuff. And my time will come. Sure, as of today, April 22, I don't have a full time job lined up. But I've got an internship. I've got 3 good connections and possibilities. I've got a lot of passion and potential. And damnit, I know my stuff and I'm ready. So I've just gotta wait it out and trust that I am right and ready for a job, and that one's gonna come. It's just nice to get that reminder from someone else.

Now on to some crazy crazy weeks ahead!
