solace

i'm freaking out, and it's literally only been a little over a week until i decided on this AmeriCorps adventure. an update:
- found out i needed another essay and self-reflection letter for a whole slew of positions in Baltimore. finished the essay and stuff, emailed it on Wednesday night, and waiting to get my transcripts and background check from Washington. now that i add the essay and transcripts to the application, i feel WAAAAAY better about it. i'm hoping to hear back sometime next week from them. their positions begin on September 6th, so i know that they're looking to hire people soon. woot.
that's the news about the job. in order to placate this massive amount of stress that is admittedly completely caused by my own brain, i have found a remedy that seems to work well.
Whitney Houston.
some people find solace in food, some in running 12 miles (gross)...i have found it in Whitney. don't ask me why. but, dancing and trying to belt out "So Emotional" has not only gotten me through the work week that continues to blow, but has also calmed me down. i remember that it's only been a little over a week and that i'm very qualified. and that i'm much better at tutoring kids than singing like Whitney Houston.
also, things could be worse: i could've been married to Bobby Brown and on crack. so there's that.
on a side note: i hope that Whitney has a rockin comeback. she's so freakin good.
side note 2: go to www.grooveshark.com and you can listen to any song you want any time. listen to "So Emotional" and dance around. an oft-forgotten Whitney stunner.
