kansas city, missouri

 

 

i really enjoyed my trip to kansas city last week. i know that i've never lived where it's snown or even really rained much, but it's so magical to me. i am so blessed to be able to travel and explore all these new-to-me cities.

salt lake city

i've never seen so much whiteness and snow before. it was breathtaking. it seemed so quiet and still here, looking down on the city from an airplane. something so strange and different than california. hoping to take the stillness i imagined and bring it into my life here at home. learning to be still and quiet before our God. to hear His still small voice.

i got a job

so back in october i started the job search, because in accounting at least they start looking for candidates really early on. so i went to my schools meet the firms event (it was actually kind of fun!) and i met and talked to a few recruiters then. then i started applying for positions (well, i had only applied for one so far. i was going to do the others later). and then i got selected for an on-campus interview. SCORE! and then they called me (while i was in the shower i might add) and they invited me for an in-house interview (cue me running around naked and pretending i wasn't just in the shower when they called. bahahaha good thing no one was home but me!). in-house interview went really well. everyone was really friendly and really nice. then about a week later.... they called me while i was taking an exam. and they asked me to call them back. and i was like IS THIS A GOOD THING OR A BAD THING I DONT KNOW!!! because it's an official grown-up job, so i didn't know if they would hire me over the phone or just tell me no over the phone. anyways, we played phone tag. then they got a hold of me finally. and i was in the library at school so i had to run out in order to talk at a decent level. and they were like blah blah blah..... you got the job! eeeeeee! then i peed my pants and everyone stared at me on the floor. okay that part didn't happen but still. i was close to peeing. so starting in july i'll be a full time "associate" aka auditor! i'm really happy and very excited. i'm also extremely nervous because like i said, it's a grown-up job. but i know i'm a hard worker and that i'll be able to pick up on everything i need to know. the company is Mayer Hoffman McCann. it's a firm in irvine. so now i just need to buy business clothes! this is crazy!

restroom club

Why is it that I only ever go to blog when I'm in a sad/ weird mood? Oh well. Anyways... So last week at work, I went to go clean the men's restroom while we were still open. and I thought no one was in there and just went in. Then a guy came out of the stall. And I was just standing there with my mouth open (I didn't see anything though!). Then I started giggling. And he was like, "I was wondering why someone was knocking on the big door." Then I just kept laughing and said sorry then left. And, to top it off, he is a regular! So I will see him again. Haha embarrassing! Side note: I've walked into the men's restroom at school so many times! I just am never paying attention I guess! But then the smell hits me and I know I'm in the wrong place. Haha
