It is so hard to NOT let myself get excited when opportunities present themselves. I really shouldn’t get my hopes up but it can be hard not to.

Every time I apply for a job, I check that city’s location against the distance from 4 other cities. Independence, Iowa. Olwein, Iowa. West Des Moines, Iowa. Ames, Iowa. Those are the four cities I check against. Because the most important people in my life (that live in Iowa) are in those cities.

This weekend, an Assistant County Attorney position opened in one of those four cities.

Shitty though it might be to say… every negative from the past 4 years would be worth it if I could get this job. The horrible history of rejections and depression… all acceptable if (at the end of it all) I wind up IN one of my four primary city choices. And that is why it is hard not to get my hope up.
