The Idea of Blogging get me Excited!

It's hard for me to keep this up. I have received some great news here recently. I will be moving to St. Thomas for the entire Fall Semester! Initially I was not going to get the position. I kind of shot myself in my own foot.

They told me that they were going to contact me last friday to let me know if I got the position. I am currently at Utah First Credit Union. The Credit Union had offered me a position. I wanted the position with Del Sol more. So after waiting for a long time I email the decision maker and said, "Hey, I have some other opportunities that are getting tired of waiting for an answer. I am hoping to know by today." They then responded by saying something like, "You were one of our top candidates, but it is good that you have some other opportunities. We have been waiting on an answer for a current intern if they want to continue on with us. If you need to tell them we understand. We will still let you know if anything opens up."

Feeling a little defeated I told my family members and friends that I would no longer be going anywhere. I started to make plans to move to Salt Lake and work at Utah First, then they contacted me on Monday, "Have you already committed to something else?" I told them I hadn't and they offered me the internship in St. Thomas. It was really odd because that was the exact thing I had hoped to happen, but I wasn't excited. A lot of things had happened in those few days, with making plans to move, meeting new friends :), getting offered a great position at the Credit Union, and then I was available to work for Ragnar this fall and have them pay for my Fall break Vacation to New York. I began to get excited about all of these things. Then I was offered the position. It was like I was stuck in between a rock and a hard place, but like the total opposite, because both are awesome. So it was more like being stuck between a king size goose feather comforter and a tempurpedic mattress. Both would make me happy. It was just finding out which was more appropriate for this time in my life.

I later was able to speak to the people at the credit union. They have offered me the job for when I come back in January. So parts of the tempurpedic mattress will still exist. I will not be able to do the Ragnar races, and some of my friends may still be around or may start dating people and then I probably won't see them as much. I have just gotten to the point where I am happy with whatever happens. It will all be as it should be. I am excited for the next chapter of my life. The goose feather comforter opportunity will perhaps not come again. I need to enjoy every second of wind boarding, scuba diving, beach lounging, ya know the regular stuff in St. Thomas.
