Tomorrow.

Tomorrow is my first day as Ms. Lastname.

Tomorrow I begin my first job that I get a real salary (as opposed to an hourly or AmeriCorps wage).

Tomorrow I begin a new identity as a high school staff member.

Tomorrow I begin being mistaken for a high schooler on a regular basis.

Tomorrow I attempt to hide my nose stud with a clear one.

Tomorrow I begin working 40+ hour weeks again.

Tomorrow, I begin commuting. Quite a long one, actually.

Tomorrow, I try to remember that I am lucky to have a new job.

Today, I am enjoying being Ashley who lays around drinking coffee and reading Jodi Picoult novels.

Today, I am nervous about tomorrow.
