Life Lesson #11 - Don't Get Discouraged

This is coming almost 2 weeks late but midterms, problem sets, and paper have been keeping me busy. Last last Friday, I had an interview with the media resource center in Moffitt library for a job there. Here's the breakdown.

The bad: Since the time I applied for the job and my interview, the work shifts had changed days and I would be unable to work those hours due to classes, MOC, and college group.

The good: My interviewer said the interview went great and she thought I would be perfect for the job if my schedule had worked out.

The redeeming factor: My interviewer said that if I still want the position for next semester instead of this one, she would hold my application and I would basically get the job without having to interview again.

As I said, I've been pretty busy these past couple of weeks with school. There is always another article to read or paper to work on or midterm to study for. Honestly I don't know if I would have been able to handle a job on top of 4 classes all for my majors. I think spring semester is going to be a lot less stressful than this one and I would probably be able to balance the workload of school and working a lot better but I was still pretty disappointed that I did not get the position. That being said, the last thing my interviewer said to me was, "I hope this doesn't discourage you from coming back and working here in the future". So I'll try my best to not get discouraged and in the mean time, will just enjoy the free time I have to hang out, and I guess really relax before classes become harder and the workload heavier.
