New Job!

So I totally forgot to mention that I was called in for an interview with the Law Firm I had applied for. Monday I interviewed and Tuesday I started work as File Clerk/Receptionist for Marshall, Dennehey, Warner, Coleman & Goggin. The week went by pretty quickly and I love the company. Not only did I get an amazing benefits package that starts Sept. 1, I also work with some really friendly, witty and personable people.

YAY! :D

And I totally have Don to thank for letting me know about the job, helping me with my resume and talking me up to the Office Manager. Thanks Don!!!! You're awesome!

One of the most awesome things about the job is the building I work in is right in Rittenhouse Square so I get to spend time in the city with I LOVE and lunches in the park are really nice too.

Now on the school end of things. I have decided, for a few different reasons, that I will not be taking classes this fall and I will wait until the spring semester. The most important reason being that I want to get a good start at this new job and I don't want to be spreading myself thin immediately. Another reason for this decision is the cost of tuition. Right now I am still considered and Out-of-State resident and will be until spring. This makes my tuition about 3 times as much as an In-State residents. And the final reason, which has a little to do with the second reason, is that I still haven't received word from the school about my financial aid package and classes start next week, I beleive.

So that is my final decision. As much as it upsets me to not be in school yet, I know I am making the right choice because I want to be sure I do this right and it just doesn't seem to make sense right now. In the meantime I will be working at MDWC&G and taking my circus class. :D
