serindranaFor the longest time, I worried about and doubted if David's mother actually liked me. I mean, I'm her only son's first girlfriend, and we're rather serious. I can be awkward at times, and I have anxiety issues that have blown up while I've been around his family, though I've done my best to manage it. Plus, I always have that lingering fear that I'm just not a good, likeable human being.
I think that doubt is completely gone now, though.
I'm living with them this summer, and as such, his mother's been helping with the job search. Originally, she was just lining up a job for me at the library that she works at. There's a lot of arch work going on in Wyoming, though - mostly private firm/government contract stuff, in place of academic research projects, but it's there. Just a little harder to get into.
When I sent her my resume for the library job, I also sent an arch resume on the off chance we could find somewhere to send it to.
She has since emailed me with two potential jobs, one of which (a part time job that would mesh with the part time at the library) looks really promising, doesn't require that I drive (since I'll be learning while there), etc. If I get either of the jobs, I'll be getting a TON of experience I had thought I wouldn't, since I didn't have the funds to go to a field school this summer.
I just- I'm so thankful and feel so loved. My own parents have never helped with me finding a job or anything else. Hell, they weren't even willing to help me learn how to drive. Or cook meals (... yeah, I don't know, either). I can't wait to be out there this summer. :)
(Also, just over two weeks until Ireland! HOW AWESOME IS THAT.)

Date: 2011-02-20 12:13 am (UTC)I was late at getting my driver's license, as well, though it was by choice - I didn't want the bills and obligations that went along with it. My mom tried to teach me on her manual, and after stalling in the middle of a busy intersection, I thought I never wanted to drive! Once I was behind the wheel of an automatic, though, things fell into place.

Also, I saw the news about your cat. D: *hugs and sends love* If you want to talk about anything, I'm around.
