I'm All Growed Up... Finally

Back in January, I wrote this post. I was concerned about my future, worried that I was a Cineplex "Lifer", and was torn between wanting my job interview to go well, or blowing it on purpose.

Needless to say, I wasn't hired for this position, and I've since started working part-time at a Mexican airline here in Edmonton [Mexicana] -- I was hired because of my Spanish, English and French language fluency. I am loving it there...

BUT, I had a job interview on my 23rd birthday. It was for a job at NAIT (the Northern Albertan Institute for Technology) as a manual text editor. 

It was a very low-key job interview; I found it easy to express myself and I was very confident... Well... drum-roll, please... I GOT IT!!

FIREWORKS! CONFETTI! CELEBRATE!

Huzza. I am now *OFFICIALLY* a big girl.
Only down side? Accepting this job means that I'm going to be in Alberta for a little while longer than I planned...

For her birthday this year, she asked one of her fellow nurses, Milly, to read our handwriting and interpret our personalities. Milly's interpretation of me was not that far off-base; she inferred that I'm reserved, prideful, loyal, hard-working, stubborn, and creative --- but she also told me that I can come off as "cold". Now, it's interesting to me that what stuck with me most is the fact she called me cold. Not the fact she correctly guessed that I like to feel people out before baring my thoughts to them. Not the fact she told me I'm creative, but am wasting my talents. Nope. What affected me most about her reading is that I can come off as cold to certain people. I've been called so many things in my life (haven't we all?), but the things I've been called in the past have always had a more... well, a positive spin. I...
