New Job & New Home.

Mid-week greetings to you all! Believe it or not, I am coming at you with a new post, *gasp* not even a week after my last! I guess I'm feeling generous on this Thursday evening. Having said that, let's keep this short and sweet, shall we? ;)

I should start by informing you all that I no longer go by Cami/Cammy/Cammie. My title has changed to, ahem, "UC Davis Campus Ambassador Tour Guide"! That's right folks, its time for me to shimmy into my bright blue polo and prepare to answer copious questions from concerned parents (you know who you are)-I got chosen to be a tour guide! Truth be told, I've coveted this job since I myself was a wee little Senior in high school. I've tried in the past applying (rejection followed), but this quarter I got an interview! Hey, if at first you can't succeed...And boy, what an interview it was. I was joined by 150 other prospective "campus ambassadors" and participated in a 3-hour, one-on-one/video/group interview. Yep, I'm still not sure what a video interview is either. I figured I had it in the bag as long as I slapped on my biggest Disney Princess smile and cheesy voice I've adopted after too many rides on the Jungle Cruise. But then I got there and was slapped in the face with the realization that every single other student was trying to do the same thing. It was an extrovert convention! Everyone so perky and peppy and smiley and "passionate about what UC Davis has to offer!!!!!" After 3 draining hours (and I thought I was a people-person?), I left feeling like I didn't give enough Cameron "shine!" to get the job. Well, I was proved wrong a few days later! I am very excited to get back into the campus environment that I have missed since moving out of the dorms. What's next for this ambassador? Tomorrow I have orientation, where I will reicieve the 20 page script I am to memorize. In 3 weeks. Its a good thing I spent all those months memorizing my one line for Grease in the 6th grade! ("Popcorn!")

Speaking of moving out of the dorms, I am also signing a lease this week! As much as I have loved my cozy little apartment in Davis, I am re-locating and re-roomateing a little closer to campus. I'll be living with 4 other girls, aaaaand one shower. Gulp. Its a 2-story townhouse so plenty of room for the grandparents to unexpectedly drop by! (Which I have been anxiously anticipating ever since Omi and Gramps got back from Prague, by the way).

For those wondering, the orchestra last weekend was wonderful! Eric and I got in our most dapper little outfits and spent the night pretending we were one of the old rich couples that we were surrounded by. Literally. It was a sea of grey. Although we did feel pretty good when the usher took a look at us and said "Wow, you two are looking nice! We could use some more class around here!" Then we ended the night at In N Out. So that cancels that out.

I must also mention (because I know the grandparents will just eat this up), that Mr. Eric got Employee of the Month for November! I was pretty proud. I was hoping he would get a golden bicycle with mother of pearl handlebars or something. No such luck.

Well, that's about all the exciting updates one could possibly have in one week. Maybe I'll even chat with you all a few days from now-I'm a new woman, who knows what could happen?? I knew this New Years Resolution thing would be a piece of cake ;)
