Smile... Indeed

Yesterday, via connections through April, I found two jobs: one as a media analyst and another as a socail worker of sorts. The latter of the two is pretty much a gauranteed position, provided I am still interested after my Q&A tomorrow with one of the Supervisors (this is a guy who is the fiance of April's new step-sister). It's only 20 min. from my new apartment and I would be paid a likely base salary of $32,000 or so per year. Even if I decide not to take this position for whatever extreme reason, I still have a nice opportunity to work for my dad's company as a research assistant. I would work from home and could make roughly $1,000 per month part time--so this serves as an ideal plan B.

Also, in the same day, I applied and will likely get a spot in an apartment (privitely owned student housing) with three other guys. The rent includes all utilities, cable, and internet for a fun $411 per month. Provided I enjoy my time there and I take the forementioned job, I could definitely enjoy some savings for once in my life. Thank God!

My previous entry talked about attitude and faith. Today, I am seeing that faith begin to bare fruit. It's just as I said to April on the phone last week before all of this transpired: "Sweetie, my experience with God has been that you get what you pray for (within reason), but you don't get it HOW you would like; only He can see when the perfect timing is. Everything will be fine." Perfect timing indeed: I heard about these jobs the day after my last day at Polo, and just two hours after I put down my application fee to an apartment I thought I may be paying for in loans.
