It's... unbelievable!

yggdra_silWell... on Tuesday I had a job interview. It was pretty okay and I didn't die of nervousness.
Yay me! :)
They told me they'd contact me by the end of next week (and I wondered how I'd survive that). Well, yesterday the boss's secretary called me to tell me that they'd decided to give me the job.
I'm still pretty high on endorphines right now.
I mean, apart from the fact that it's for two years and means more money than the internship - they decided that I'm the one for the job after two days!
That really feels good. I mean, I try and ignore stupid comments about the (supposed) uselessness of humanities. But it still - with time - gets to me. Makes me doubt my own worth and the worth of what I'm doing and enjoying.
So this is absolutely awesome for me and my feeling of self-worth.
Not that I'm not expecting a ton of stupid comments by my "friend" because it's not a "real" job. It's "only" a training. A training in the field I've always wanted to work in.
I promise myself one thing. This time I will NOT take his bullshit SILENTLY. If he wants to insult what I enjoy most, what makes a great part of who I am - I am a student of literature - he'll just have to accept my reaction. My anger.
I love what I'm doing right now. And people who think only science/jobs where you need your hands are worth the wile... they make me want to break something because they're attacking an intrinsic aspect of who I am.
