Woo Hoo!

I heard from Write Around Portland on Tuesday. Dawn, the director, started with the expected dialogue of "well, it was a very difficult decision, especially with having so many applicants..." but then she said that I was definitely in the top group of applicants and asked me to be the alternate, so if one of the eleven chosen for the Summer facilitator training decide not to do it, I'll be the first to take their spot.

The funny thing is that I cross my fingers that someone drops out but I also secretly hope that no one will. It's a lot to take on. Though it is truly something I want and am willing to take on, I don't handle stress well (and I'm easily stressed out) and so adding on WAP training, and then the 10 week workshop, is putting a lot more on my already full plate.

Everything happens the way it should, though. If I get that call, then I'll embrace it and put my all into it. And if I don't get it, then I'll try again for January's training.

I'm just happy that they gave me as much consideration as they did! I'm quite pleased to be the runner up. Woo Hoo!
