I have an interview...

[katie]

...for the job of my dreams on Monday. EEP!

It's for Studio Manager at the second largest ballet theatre/dance school in Boston. Also know as a BIG. FRIGGIN. DEAL. Not only does it sound like an awesome job, but it would give me the inside experience necessary to open my own theatre in a few years. It would give me a great feel for the day to day running of a performing arts organization, way more than my internship did because it'd be the bigtime and not something I was doing for free.

And the salary ain't bad either. $25-30k/year. Not bad for a girl just out of college doing exactly what she wants to be doing. Way better than I could do at my 3 jobs now, working 70 hours a week. Certainly enough to give me a good leg up in saving for my future home.

Keep your fingers crossed, please. Or pray or send good energy or whatever it is you do. This could be the start of my career and it's scary, exciting, nerve-wracking, etc. P.S. Did I mentioned I'm scared shitless?

proof that i'm a complete idiot/loser/douchebag:

i drove to my interview and arrived at 400 harvard st in boston approximately fifteen minutes before my interview.

unfortunately, i was supposed to be at 400 harvard st in cambridge. my travel to cambridge took over an hour and by the time i got there, there was no time to see me. he had to give his second interview decision to the hiring committee today by 4, so i just threw out the job of my dreams cause i'm an idiot.

i've been bawling all day long. i think this is the first time in my life i've ever really hated myself.
