My life is in transition - the state of moving from one chapter to the next. I'm moving from the mega-maturation process of the Forge to securing a full-time job in Dallas. And let me be the first to tell you - life in transition is CRAZY. I was free from the craziness for a bit, but now, it has caught up with me again . . .
For 11 days, I was living with my Forge friends, first on our post-Forge trip through Texas, and then in Dallas. I was able to mooch off of the Seifreids for a few days until my interview with UT Southwestern. The interview went extremely well - they're looking for someone to work full-time for a short period (1-1/2 years); basically, this job is made for people looking to go on to grad school, like me.
But, things were tough in Dallas. It was great to still be with a few Forgies, but it still felt like the Forge hadn't really ended - I had no closure. So, after 11 days of mooching, I came back 'home' to Missouri.
I say 'home', because for the first time, it really doesn't feel like home. With the job and the thought of moving to Dallas in my sights, I feel like a guest here. Not to mention, I've spent the past week going through all my old junk, boxing up the stuff I want to take and throwing the rest away.
And then, this morning, I literally woke up to a phone call for an interview. Now, I have an interview in Dallas next week; the craziness has caught back up with me.
Things were quiet for a bit, but now more hard decisions are coming. With either position, I'm likely to START around the first of June. That means I could be LIVING and WORKING in Dallas in less than 10 days!
So, that phone call awakened me in more ways than one. Time to get moving.

It's crazy how fast life can sneak up on you! Soak it all in, though, because this is a just as awesome as it is scary. If you move to Dallas your first task is to figure out who I'm going to stay with when I come visit...
