My father asks me about my career yet again. I try not to get irritated. I tell him I applied for Japan. He doesn’t seem impressed. I’m pretty sure I’m scowling.
After washing out Denny’s, I check my e-mail and I’m astounded to see an e-mail from NOVA. It hasn’t been that long since I put in the on-line application. It is the first message I click on.
Dear Jessica Lim,
Thank you very much for applying to teach English in Japan with Nova. We would like to invite you to interview with us at our Chicago office. […]
I suck in a deep breath. I carefully read the e-mail and try to process this development.
I take one more shaky step towards my desert.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I THOUGHT that is what the IM last night was all about! Give us the details, don’t be scared, take a deep breath and go for it. The desert is calling you… =)
Wow. I think the vision quest sounds good. Does a Japanese desert count?
Let me know how it goes.
