I finally have some pretty much AMAZING news

I am so thrilled to finally have something noteworthy to blog about. As I mentioned in my prior post, I have been working at the MTC in the bakery. The job itself wasn't too bad, but the hours were definitely not okay. Six hours a week is pretty much nothing. And then all of us cookie cookers were just way too speedy and so I was getting off early everyday too. That is just not the way to actually get money. Obviously. So I decided that it was time for me to get a new job, especially since I am now having to save lotsa money by next fall to go on an amazing Study Abroad...if I get accepted. I'll let you know. Anyways, back to my ridiculously wonderful news.

As I was perusing through BYU's employment site and looking over my options, I found an editorial assistant job that was just up my ally. I applied obviously and interviewed for the job. It was an awesome job and I really hoped I'd get it. Alas, they gave it to someone older and more experienced. But the guy I interviewed with was very impressed by my resume and my experience (having an internship at Covenant Communications particularly) which made me feel all happy and whatnot.

So yesterday while I was working in the bakery, I missed a call. When I got off and looked at my phone I saw that I had a voicemail from someone who I didn't know. Well.....I listened to it and it was someone else from the Maxwell Institute (the same place as the aforementioned job, just in a different department) and they said that the guy who I interviewed with passed along my resume to them and they wanted me to come in and interview for a position that they were currently interviewing for. You can imagine how positively thrilled I was that not only was the guy impressed enough that he passed along my resume, but that they were impressed enough to call me and ask me to come interview! Yay me. So I ended up going in fro an interview this morning.

The interview went fabulously and by the end of them explaining what exactly the job was, I was basically dying to get the job. They explained my duties and that it's an internship for internship credit or something, but that it's paid. Woot woot. If I got the job I would get to do proofreading, editing, sourcechecking, and all those fun things that one does in the editing and publishing world. And get paid for it! Obviously I really, really wanted this position.

They explained that they wanted to make the decision today and that they would let me know. So after that I went to a fabulous shoe party and got some really cute shoes! (Thanks again, Mom) I got back from that and went to French class, still anxiously waiting to know about the job. After my class I came back to my apartment to study for a big, yucky test I had to take. Amidst this studying, my phone suddenly buzzed, signalling that I had a voicemail. I hate my phone sometimes. Didn't even ring. So I listened to the voicemail and she informed me that they had talked about it and had decided to offer me the position!!!

Oh my pure excitement and joy. Enough said.

I obviously accepted the offer and all that and I can't wait till I get to start. This is such an amazing opportunity and I am so grateful and excited for it! Yay everything!

I'm all grown up like with a job and everything!

So I officially have a real job. For the first time ever. Pretty impressive, I know. So my fantastic new job is at the MTC in the Bakery. Pretty much all I do is put cookies on trays, cook the cookies, take the cookies out of the oven, and put them on trays for the next day. I know, I know, it sounds beyond thrilling and you are probably wondering how I can handle the excitement. But, rest assured, I am handling it perfectly well. What can I say? I'm a cookie making natural I suppose. Enough said. So yes, I started my job this past week and so far I am liking it. Not my dream job or anything, but it's not too bad. I'm pretty content with it. Except that I have a class that gets over at 1:50 and my shift starts at 2. That just doesn't work because I can't get all the way to the MTC that fast. But they're pretty understanding so it's only stressful, not detrimental to my good standing there as an employee or anything. Pretty exciting I guess.

So....let's talk about my life

I'm on my new laptop, so I have a very limited supply of pictures. Of me or of anything really. So, just so you have a picture of me you can look at, because I am sure you really want that, here's the picture of me and my favorite 22 year old sister Brittany. Now, let's just fill ya'all in on what's going on in my life. I just started at BYU last Tuesday (September 2). I'm taking 14 credits, but I don't have too hard of classes so I'm sure I will so be able to handle it all. The only class that I'm worried about is my Nutrition class, but it's not that bad. Since I'm going to college, I obviously moved out. So I'm living at Stonebridge in pretty much the closest apartment to BYU in pretty much the closest place to BYU. It's pretty much great. I timed it yesterday and to get home from the WSC it only took me like 2 1/2 minutes. And that was with me having to wait for the walk signal when crossing the street. Woot woot. So there's the general gist of what's going on in my life. Not very exciting, but hey.

Caitlyn Judith.....finally has a blog

Well since I'm out of the house and all grown up and going to college....aw, cute....i figured it was time I finally made myself a blog. My life isn't particularly interesting, but for some reason people think my life is going to get interesting or something since I'm moved out and in a new singles ward - can't wait till I'm in the menu...ha - and attending BYU. So ya'all are just so lucky and you get to read posts about my life that is supposedly going to start picking up. Don't you feel so privileged? I know I would.
