OT: Heck Yeah Moment!

So earlier this week I decided to do something kind of uncharacteristic for me. I am in my last semester at SCSU, and I haven't done an internship yet (my dad got sick as mine was starting, so I had to give it up.)

I was curious as to whether or not the St. Cloud Times had Fall internships, so my advisor told me who to call and I actually DID it. Up until very, very recently, I would have been far too shy to call and "bother" someone when I did not know if they could even help me.

I GOT IT!!!

I get to work in the section that I have wanted to write in for YEARS, under some writers that I have idolized since high school! Not to mention what it's going to do for my resume, portfolio, and the prospects of getting a job in December!

I am happy dancin' all over the place!!

Its amazing how losing weight can bring your self esteem back. I didn't think it'd be here so quick! :)

YAY, Amber!!


I think this is definitely better than a 'heck ya' moment--it's a full-blown WOW!!

Congratulations!!

Nah, the real WOW moment today is that I have lost 29.5 inches since surgery!

Almost TWO AND A HALF FEET of me is gone in two months!!

...Wow.

Another WOW!     That's amazing!  

Be sure to hang onto at least one item of 'fat' clothing so you can REALLY see the difference further down the road, when you try that piece on and you get lost in it!  Just my suggestion...
