"She's in love, and the world gets blurry
She makes mistakes, and she's in no hurry to grow up
'Cause grownups, they don't understand her
Well it's a big, big world out there, but she's not scared...
She finds hope in the strangest places
She reads her books, and she knows the faces
Of everyone that ever said she's alone
She knows every word to the saddest songs
And she sings along, though her friends all tell her
That she can't sing...
She's eighteen, much too young
To know what a kiss like that would mean
But her lips, they were no stranger to the touch
And she likes it way too much."

The Hunt is Over!

Guess who got a job today? You get eighteen guesses, and the first seventeen are worthless. Oh, and I'll kill you if you don't get it right. :]

Yes. I, Abby, am now part of the ranks of the employed. The Panera Bread at the local mall had me come in for an interview today, and after fifteen minutes of getting to know my new GM, I'd been hired. Les doy las gracias a las gemelas [mis amigas "identicas"] para su gran apoyo. My Spanish class twinsies--Thing 1 and Thing 2--I seriously love you guys. Not kidding. :D

I start Tuesday with training, and continue on Thursday with some more orientation. Real work begins the next week. I honestly can't wait to get started. :] :]

Looks like this whole "growing up" thing comes a lot faster than I expected, though. It's not all bad, just a little scary, you know?

Who knows? I certainly don't. Maybe "growing up" will run smoothly. Maybe it'll all be perfect.

Maybe.
