history: I had interviewed for a job I really wanted.  I was waiting for a response for a little while. I went for an interview for a job I really wanted and ended up waiting a long time before I heard anything.  I managed to keep my spirits up for a good long while. I hope you got it.
current: I did actually!  It's a good job, especially since the market where I am isn't great for my field.
next: Congrats! You deserve it for keeping your faith!
