It's been a few days since I posted, and a lot has happened since then. It seems that as soon as I can finally breathe again, another storm hits, but that's life, isn't it.
On New Year's Day, one of my favorite professors of the SCM was hospitalized. No one told me, and I heard nothing about it. Mr. Brookshire has been like a grandfather to me...he was one of those men that if I ever stopped to wonder what a Godly grandfather (which I don't have) would have told me in certain situations, he would come to mind. 9 days after his hospitalization, I found out about it when I went to check my school email account. The latest bulletin stated that we were to "Please pray for Mr. Brookshire...as he has been hospitalized and is very sick..." I just sat there in an almost trance for a few minutes before frantically calling a friend to find out if he was ok. Two days later, the friend called me back to tell me that Mr. Brookshire has been diagnosed with cancer in the mid to late stages... There is a part of me that wanted so badly to call him and tell him to get back to work, he's got a few more years left... But I can't. It's not my place. I feel a deep sadness covered by a peace... I know it's not my fault...but there's a part of me that feels like I should've been there.
As far as other news is concerned, I received an email from my cousin the other day stating that I can live with her for 2 weeks while I search for a job. If I get a job, I can stay with her for 3 months while I get on my own two feet and find my own place in ATL. If I do not find a job, my boyfriend has talked to his mother (without my knowledge) and she has said that I can stay with them as long as I need to as long as I am actively looking for a job. So, that's good news and bad news...I just hope that I have what it takes to get the job I need...
Please, God...give me the confidence I need in job interviews...so far, my self-confidence has sucked when it comes to job searching.
