Back in Austin

ALCS- Game 6

The day before I moved back to Austin was the ALCS Game 6. I knew the Rangers were going to win and I wanted to go to a game so bad that I decided to buy a standing room only ticket and go to the game. I figured if I could stand through 5 Shakespearean shows this summer than I could stand through a baseball game. I knew if I was at home watching the game and we won that I would be really upset I wasn't there. I couldn't afford to take anyone with me so I just went by myself and I was so glad I did!!

I got there around 6:30 purchased a beer and found my spot! I knew there would be a lot of standing spectators and I wanted to be able to see. I ended up standing in right field behind the lower section of seats. It was a great view and I was right by the isle so the concessions came to me! The only time I had to leave was to use the restroom, but luckily I had made friends with the guy next to me who saved my spot while I was gone :)

Watching the 15 runs the Rangers scored made standing so worth it! In fact, the stadium was standing half the game anyway since there were so many runs. It was a great feeling knowing we would win the game and go the World Series for the 2nd year in row! (even though it didn't turn out too well). The ceremony, fireworks, and confetti made the celebration most spectacular. 

I was so happy I bought a ticket! I'll be a Rangers Fan for LIFE!

ISA- International Studies Abroad

Shortly making my post about unemployment, I got got a job interview with ISA or International Studies Abroad. It's a study abroad company based in Austin that I learned about when I was in London. They send students to the FSU London Study Centre Theatre Studies program so I got to know a little more about them over my 6 months. Then when I got home I started doing more research and realized it would be a great company to work for!
I checked the website multiple times a week hoping a job would open up that I was quialified for and in the beginning of October it did! So on my birthday I drove down to Austin, for my first interview. I was then called back for another one the following week and was offered the job! This was super exciting as this is my first "real" job. Not only did I get a job, but I got to move back to Austin.
I've now finished 3 weeks at the job and it's going great. I'm a Student Services Representative which means I contact students we've met at study abroad fairs to see if they're still interested or if the have any questions. I mostly get voicemails, but everday you get a couple of students who are really excited or who ask good questions. Sometimes they aren't so nice, but then I just walk around the office talking to people to get back in a better mood. I'm making new friends and I like the people I work with so it's going great so far! And in the Spring semester I will probably get to travel around the US a little to different study abroad fairs which might help my restlessness in the office : )

Thanks to everyone who supported me and encouraged me during this time!! I enjoyed unemployment, but I'm happy to have my stuff back, organized, and to have a normal schedule again......all I need is a cat! haha we'll see.
