Thoughts.

So much for getting into bed by 12 AM today and sleeping 8 hours to prep myself for my 830 in the morning. I don't think I'll be attending that one eh? Well, I caught an hour or so of shut eye before now and it's going to take it's toll tomorrow. I totally thought I was over this over thinking thing, but I guess I'm so excited that I can't go to bed.

Of course for those who don't live in the little town of Kingston aren't really in the loop of things so here I explain. Perhaps over the last 24 hours scenarios have been running through my head – whether I landed the position I wanted, didn't land it, did other great things in life or rather not. It gets pretty crazy hectic in my mind.
Plainly, I'm going to be running a triple digit conference with four other awesome con-eddies (to clarify the lower spectrum of triple digits). I'm foreseeing some sleepless nights but that all shall be worth my time.

Beyond the excitement I think I have to go back to last week and share this interview experience in a condensed and concise list:

  • So apparently, being me and how I usually act will land me somewhere. No point in pretending someone you are not. 
  • The individual portion of 30 minutes was more nerve racking than working in a group. There were six of them and one of me. Can be an uncomfortable way to sit in front of a panel. 
  • The group portion was just fun. Nerve racking at times to spew out your without taking the spotlight, but grabbing enough of it to set yourself apart. 
  • Who could forget the things we did in the other room all as candidates
    • Memes, Laughs, YouTube... you get it. 
  • 4 hours well in technicality 3 and a half, and I'm sure hours of deliberation after the fact for the panel. All past by quick, I definitely did not realize how much can happen in that span of time. 
  • I met new people
    • Which is always nice and to get to know them
  • I legitimately believe that if I had not have conversations on end about aspects about the conference itself and all the things that went great, with more emphasis on the things that didn't work so well. I wouldn't have landed the position. Or I could just think, He's favouring me. (:
So to share what else is going on in my brain is what I'm going to choose to commit to next year and how everything else is going to fall into place. I just need to spend time to rest and digest part of the "sympathetic nervous system" (IB Bio this is what you have done to me!). Back to bloggin', I will just need to sit down and figure out what I'm doing. Perhaps I should tell my parents as of this point too, kind of important? I can imagine their reaction, "Woa, what about everything else going on! Cut back on your activities!" So true, so true...

This is becoming a lengthy post and I guess it's good that some doors were closed while other opportunities such as this one came up. If only all the people I will connect over the next year get to know why, there is a difference – that would be an amazing event. Before, I do other things and head back to bed hopefully, there's a lot planned for me as of this moment and His guidance will take charge. One thing I'm looking to not happen is me taking the wheel with my life and driving away – it shouldn't be that way and we'll see how the cookie crumbles.
