Let me quickly jot down how I feel right now. Don't have time to write a full essay. Too much eamailing back and forth with people. But it feels good to get an unexpected long replies.
Sure, I've been very happy for myself and proud of what I have accomplished. But I am also worried that I will have to deal with not-understanding-what-others-say, and have to smile through jokes that I don't get or don't think funny, and not be able to make funny but appropriate comments...etc. I always find a lot of pleasure when I get along well with people. But it's gonna be very hard in this new corporate environment.
A new friend I met yesterday said to me: "But you'll be fine, you've got personality." Now that I think about it more, it might be a the biggest advice for me. I shouldn't be too timid or uptight in the way I behave.
That's it. Problem solved. Time for bed, Phil. You are about to enter a whole new world.
