I spent the night last night with Janna and Rebekah Larson's family. They are really cool people - which I've known ever since the lot of them helped me feverishly sewing buttons onto costumes during the last hours before the opening of "Our Town" during my freshman year as costume mistress. All subsequent interactions with them have been extremely pleasant.
So I did just get back from a whirlwind trip to King College in Bristol, TN. I want the job there. It doesn't pay well...but I really want to work there. For one, it's four hours closer to my parents while still being close enough to Hannah and Harold at Covenant that I could see them a few times a semester. It also lines up really well with my idea of what I want to do in the department, and I "clicked" well with practically everyone I spoke with, including the gal who's head of the staff, just a couple of years older than me, who will be a great friend.
And the apartment provided is huge and clean (much different from the others I've seen recently), and the surrounding community is such that I would be welcome to throw my musical self into some fun service as well as supplement my job with some piano students. I'm going home to crunch numbers right now and I think it'll come out as a manageable situation. I think they really liked me too - so I'm expecting an offer next week - and while in theory I'm prepared to accept a "no" from God about it, I am rather thinking this door won't shut unless I'm on the other side of it.
May have to eat those words later, so you guys pray for me, okay?
