My last post was a month and a half ago and so much has changed since then.
Last month I was feeling stuck - stuck in my childhood home, stuck in Vegas, stuck in an internship that I didn't love. My internship provided a great learning experience and an edge in the industry, but it was no longer exciting to me and I felt my performance start to slip. In addition, changes and stress in my personal life had me itching for something fresh.
I made plans to take a trip to visit an old friend in a place I'd never been and quite honestly never saw myself going. Before I left, I submit applications to job opportunities in the area that I saw online, knowing I had nothing to lose. One such opportunity really spoke to me - the firm seemed to have a position available to do exactly what I had studied to do and was looking for someone exactly like me - from my major to my interests, skills, and prior (in)experience. I got a call as I was preparing to go to the airport that they wanted to set up an interview. I went and the interview must have gone well...though I wasn't sure of it when I left.
