as grad school comes to a close i must admit, it’s totally freaking me out. being in grad school for the past 3 years has given me this sense of purpose, as if i was moving in a forward direction towards my “career goals” and all that blah blah but now that it’s coming to an end in exactly 2 months, i’ve been feeling a little uneasy about moving on into the working world without my little cushion of “purposeful comfort”. but today at work, i saw a little shed of light, when my boss told me that she actually submitted a marketing report that i’ve been playing with for about two weeks to the chief marketing officer. despite the fact that i shit in my pants, she told me that he actually thought the reports were helpful and definitely something he can use in his annual report and told her that i should continue to manage that report for future company use. OMG what a freakin moment of relief! i know it was probably such a trivial comment coming from the CMO but to my newbie professional life, it was completely awesome! it really gave me hope, a little confidence, and perhaps a new sense of purpose…yay.
