Interview!

I have a job interview on Thursday! I am very excited that things could be settled a lot quicker than I ever imagined. I feel a little overwhelmed at how quickly and smoothly things are moving.
We spent Thursday and Friday cleaning and packing as much as humanly possible due to the incoming surge of friends on Saturday/Sunday. One day there was a mountain of things that still needed to be accomplished - curtains to take down, holes to fill, boxes to pack - and then the next day we were surrounded by full boxes and spackled walls. I'm in the midst of paring down the things that I will need in the next couple of weeks and things that can be tossed.

Thursday thru Sunday will take me away from the sea of boxes and into a time of apartment searching, job interviewing and meeting with advisors for the dreaded FSU. I will be an FSU student. It still hurts me deep inside to say that, to even think it. I am a GATOR inside and out. I have trouble even considering the fact that a degree from FSU could be valid and worth something. Obviously it is a wonderful school, accredited and all that jazz, but when you're a Gator trying to reconcile yourself to a Seminole degree, lines start to get blurred.

Either way, we're counting our many blessings. Things may not have been ideal in Orlando and may not be perfect in the new place, but you can bet that I'm thankful for all that I have in my life however hard it was to get here.
