2nd Impressions

Tomorrow is my first day at the internship. I wouldn't even call it my first day because i figure it will be more of an orientation. But still I am finally doing something outside of being a bookstore girl.

Now that I have the internship I am a bundle of nerves. I don't know how to explain it. After getting the phone call from the guy (he called me right after Obama's speech) all I could think of was 'maybe he mistook me for someone else'. Maybe he called the wrong person and offered me the position by accident.

For that last two days I have been checking my email expecting him to say 'sorry, I rescind the internship. I hope there are no hard feelings'. But of course that email never came and now tomorrow morning I set out to see what I will be doing for the next few months.

It's exciting and scary. Word got around quick at work (due to my general excitement) about my internship and needless to say everyone has been giving me advice while patting me on the back with a "you get em' kid" grin.

After seeing my new boss (who will be referred to as...yes Lenny Kravitz) rocking some awesome yellow shoes and jeans I figured I needed to update my wardrobe a little by little to fit in with all the other cool people who work there. Because I hate shopping, I spent an hour in H&M, only to come out with a scarf and headband. But they were a cool scarf and headband that i planned to pair with some skinny jeans and a blouse.

The scarf and headband totalled $14 and I brought them to work with me because I only had an hour to spare before my shift started. By the end of the night said scarf and headband were magically gone! I thought I put the small H&M bag in my locker but as I inspected the empty space I could only assume that a) I misplaced it somewhere or b) someone took it. And lets be honest I wouldn't put it past some of my co-workers.

My only two items to impress Lenny Kravitz are now lying on the floor in the break room or in the hands of one of my co-workers. Crap. I will have to go in wearing my regular business casual wear tomorrow. And I am also out of 14 dollars.

Regardless, I am excited and happy though still a tad bit nervous. I don't know why i do this to myself. Why do I worry so much after I have fought so hard.
