A good reminder

So today is the day of the interview.

And I'm not nervous at all. On Saturday one of my friends said something that I always knew, but that I forget often.

God has my back. He has a plan. He has my perfect job. He's going to take care of me. My end of the deal is to keep my eyes and mind open for new opportunities.

So if I'm meant to get the job, I'll get the job. If I'm not, I won't. Simple as that.

All I know is that if I submit to God's will, He'll make sure that I get only the best.

Still, I want to ask that you please pray for me for this interview and for the wisdom make the right decisions for my future.

Do you have anything that needs prayer?

Just a quick newsflash

I got some good news today. Someone phoned me to invite me for an interview for a management job at a bookstore. 

It's going to happen on Monday, so I still have a bit of a wait, but I'm excited to know that my first round of job applications is already getting some nibbles. 

Otherwise, life is a bit quiet, since everything is winding down for the end of the year. 

What's news at your end? 

Something I realized about my Dream yesterday

Yesterday I worked as an extra again, this time for a movie. I'm really glad I did, because it made me realize something. Yes, I love drama and performing, but not for film.

From where I sat, there was something cold and clinical to the way that films are created, with scenes filmed according to where they happen, as puzzle pieces to the story. And then they do it again and again until they're just right.

As much as I love watching movies, I can't see myself making them. I love the warmth of living the characters for a time. The spontaneity of knowing that whatever happens on the stage will be seen and be seen immediately. I missed the energy that comes from  the audience.

So yeah. I'm not going to be aiming to get on t.v. If it's ever offered to me, I'll think about it, but it won't be what I'm hoping to achieve.

Got any interesting realizations about your life?

My first moves forward

Hmm... Today I might be able to get a full sized post out there. After my economics, I've been going through something between shell-shock and self-preservation mode, but now I'm done.

I'm free.

My world and future lies before me without any immediate obstacles.

Another reason why I have been pretty quiet is that I am still settling my plan of action.

And here it is: I'm applying for jobs both in my desired field and out of it with the plan that if I don't get my dream job now, I'll take a job that will tide me over until I can get my job. All my other preparations will continue.

Yes, I do technically have a job right now, but it's working for the family firm and I'd really like to spread my wings again.

After all, I don't want to sit with half a life while I work toward my dreams, because I have a sneaking suspicion that that will seriously damage the joy I will get from attaining them.

So that's me in the mean time.

Anything big happening in your life? What are your plans for next year?

Good news

So... I finally got my results back. I passed! You are now reading the blog of a Bachelor of Commerce graduate! ^_^ Have a great weekend!
