Yep I used that cheesy song lyric as the title of my blog post. But I have a good reason. Cause I am.
My exit project is DONE! I've still got to get it in to Jay and my committee, and the museum may want to make some tweaks to the book before we print it to sell in the gift shop, but the binders are together and overall everything is DONE for the committee!!!! HUGE weight off my shoulders!
I can't say the other thing that really made my day and made me start walking on air. I don't want to jinx anything. Or be stupid and post something on my blog that someone sees and is like "Right, scratch that one off the list". But basically I got good news on something. It's not the ABSOLUTE BEST NEWS IN THE WORLD, SOMETHING THAT WOULD HAVE ME JUMPING UP AND DOWN AND FREAKING OUT that I'm still keeping my fingers crossed for (I think you can all deduce what that absolute best news would be) but it is good news.
Here's a metaphor for the news: I've been in a race for something. The finish line is towards the very very southern tip of the US, close to the place I was born, surrounded by water, where they sometimes have really big storms that have names. I found out today that I am still in the race, getting towards the home stretch, and a lot of the other runners, all but 10 of us, have been disqualified.
I think you can figure out my news now.
The other big news I have is that Jay Rounds, the head of my program, forwarded me another job posting. It's in Detroit. Education department in a historic house museum. What was it that I said I wanted?? Oh right, THAT. The guy had asked if Jay had anyone in mind for the position... he fwded it to me... and only me!
So yeah I"m feeling pretty good right now.
Well I'm off to dinner and drinks with my friend Sarah from HS that I haven't seen since graduation. Excited!
And can I just say how much I LOVE family and friends that get super duper excited for me when I tell them my news? I love you guys!
