This is my year!

I think it's the end of February so it's a bit too late to state that 2012 is gonna be my year, but it is! They say 2012 is the end of the world, I say otherwise. 2012 is going to be awesome! (Besides, even if it ends this year, I don't care, I'm gonna have a blast!).

First of all, I was born in the year of the dragon, and yes, THIS year is the year of the dragon. So there you go. :)

Mid January, a friend posted an opening in the publishing company she's working in. I sucked it in and passed an application. That night immediately I got a reply and she said her boss wants me to interview some celebrity as my "test". Fast forward to early February, I accomplished the articles, went in for the customary interview, and YES had nightmares that I would not get the job. But guess what, I did. :)

The happiness I felt when I got the job was unbelievable. This is an exciting experience (SQUARE) for me because 1.) I am a nursing graduate- and yea the idea that someone like me can even have a shot at working for a magazine is crazy, 2.) I don't have the kind of experience that the job requires, and 3.) writing for a magazine has always been my dream. So when I got the congratulatory email, my heart went automatically to cloud 9 (10 or 11 even!).

So here I am, on my second week on the job, and I love every minute of it. I accomplished the dream that I've always thought of, but never really knew if I could accomplish it. I feel so happy that I feel selfish asking God for more blessings. He really is awesome.

So here I am, starting the career I want in the industry that I like. And yes, I WILL blog now. I've always wanted to blog, I've started a couple of blogs forgotten their passwords and forgotten about them completely. But this time is different.

2012 is gonna be my year!!!

the happy kid,
Lory
