Finally got a job!

With the submission of my hiring packet today, I am now officially a Japanese tutor at my college! Good times all around! It took a while to finalize because I forgot to bring my birth certificate for them to scan for my records. ><;

A job that's something I love... the recipe for success! Here's hoping this leads to even better things!
