Well guys. I think everything went better than what I could anticipate. The family get together went off without a hitch, but my feelings on the arrival of my siblings, niece, and nephew was...calm. I don't know how to describe it other than that, I was just; Very calm. Everypony had a good time and I had fun spending time with them. Especially my niece and nephews, last time I saw my little nephew he was us as energetic as I was. Now he's 14 and is taller than me and heading off to high school this year after middle school. We played games and hung out around the house. My niece is as cute as a button, she never saw me before, we got along. My sister and brother I gave hugs to and had a few conversations. But my brother I ask about why he was stuck in the Philippines for so long and he had simple answers for me and nothing else. And the reason he doesn't have a phone is because he has only Facebook, I told him to get a phone, he said he has one, but it's strickly a Pilipino phone. So that is a thing, it still confuses me.
Now on to meeting my "boss" They couldn't make it to my house, so me and my dad had to go to theirs, it was a nice place. So, I had a pep talk and was a long conversation but didn't last longer than 30 minutes. Now I won't go into the full details, but I just had good hopes for what was my interview today.
My interview lasted less than 7 minutes. I was amazed at how fast that ended, they ask me questions and I answered them back with what we talked about and boom, they answered all the question I wanted to ask when I asked about benefits. So, after that, I'm gonna give'em 110% and not let them down. Shook hands and then walked out of there with a smile on my face. So your boy just might have a job next week! I'm excited, but not looking forward to finally filling in that life of an adult crap. On the outside I'm an adult, but on the inside, I'm still a child with barely any adult experience. Wish me luck guys, I'm not going to be socially active on site for much longer, but I'm going to do my best to come back and post something. Until I get my first paycheck, ya'll won't see me for a bit. Fare thee well, with hopes & dreams, and prayers amongst the stars; Let thy light show the path to salvation.
The price of success is hard work, dedication to the job at hand, and the determination that whether we win or lose, we have applied the best of ourselves to the task at hand.

Congrats! And here's hoping you don't face any of the unsavory parts of being an adult. Not even so much the work-exhaustion most of us feel from just doing the job and having less time in our day to day, but things like bad bosses and workplace drama. Bad blood with people is the most exhausting thing of any job for most people I don't doubt.
Oh and remember! Pace yourself. Unless you're working in a fast-paced environment were giving it your 100% all the time is required, try to find a rhythm at a lower percentile so that you don't exhaust yourself physically, mentally, and emotionally. Basically what I'm saying is, value yourself. Leave some energy left at the end of the day to do what you want to do to relax.
Working might be a drag sometimes, but I find a sense of comfort in doing even a menial job. Having spent a couple of years not going outside to publish books professionally can take that kind of toll on you. Especially when you don't see an income in the intermediary! Just feeling like you're accomplishing something can be a saving grace for most. Hopefully you find some comforts in the work like that. Anything to keep your spirits up.
Best of luck, friend.

It's all good, they were all very nice people and that's the hardest thing to come by, "Nice" people. I'll be taking this advice to heart; I have high expectations for when I work.
Thanks.
