hooray! being self-conscious is exhausting.

the interview was easy! it helped that the interviewer was a grad student & she was late. also, the project doesn’t make any sense, so i wasn’t nervous.

& they hired me!

the bridal shower went well also. i felt a little awkward & must have looked awkward enough for my friend to ask if i was “doing ok/not too uncomfortable” several times.

but i actually did feel comfortable at the same time. i didn’t feel like everyone was looking at me, so the awkwardness didn’t matter. the mountain of gifts for the bride-to-be made it pretty clear that this party wasn’t about me. :)
