So I am super duper pooper scooper excited!! I've been holding off updating the blog because I haven't had any really great news happen until today! Two weeks ago I applied to American Eagle and it has been a phone tag event between the hiring manager at AE and my old manager at Red Lobster. But alas! the managers at AE were able to get a hold of my references and I have officially been hired. But the good news doesn't stop there. In my first interview I was asked what I would like to accomplish at the store and I said that I would eventually like to become a manager. Well apparently I made quite an impression because yesterday when I received a call from the manager to ask if I was available for a second interview. She continued and said that she had mentioned to the store manager that I was interested in a management position and that he wanted to meet me. So today I went and met and interviewed with him and it went fantastic. He told me to "expect to move up quickly." Which I was so freaking excited over. I couldn't believe it, and still have a little bit of curiosity as to why they're so excited about me. I'm even slated to meet the District Manager to make a good first impression. So what I wonder is why would they want this for me? A 20-yr-old who has no retail experience, haven't worked for them at all, and I haven't even been a manager anywhere! But I'm not looking a gift horse in the mouth and I thank God that I've been given such an awesome job offering and opportunity.
Another opportunity that I am getting really pumped for is starting school on the 28th. I'm taking two classes towards my AA in the foundations of business; cultural diversity and learning in an information age. I'm hoping to have my AA in a little less than a year. In about two years, give or take, I plan on having my BA in Business Management. I'm taking all of my classes online through the University of Phoenix.
Other than that I'm looking forward to turning 21 in 12 days on the 21st, which means it's my star birthday. Which apparently means that it's just that more special. So I think Shawn and I plan to have a really fun/nice day to celebrate my new job and turning 21. I also know that a couple of my girlfriends and I are planning on going out and having a good time. So pretty much I'm having a really good couple of days and I'm really looking forward to my orientation at work on Friday and beginning classes in a couple of weeks. So I hope everything is going well with everyone else!
