Back Again

So, I know it's been quite a while since my last post (almost 18 months - hard to believe), but lately I've found the desire to write more about what's been going in my life. I need a place to express myself - and I thought of my blog. Most you may not read this anymore - but for my own sake, I'll have a place to share my thoughts - even if it is only with myself.

About 2 months ago, a wonderful thing happened. I started my first full-time job. It was an awesome feeling, knowing that I had successfully made it through 17 years of school and was finally out on my own. Yet it was not until a few days ago that it finally kicked in. Despite going to work 40 hours a week, Monday through Friday, I still felt like it wasn't permanent. Somehow in the back of my mind, I felt like this job would only last a couple more weeks after which I would be off to school as usual (never mind that school started 6 weeks ago). That's how it's always been. But for some odd reason, I started this work week with the feeling that this job is permanent, at least for the next 2 years or so. I think back when I started, such a thought would have scared the crap out of me - simply b/c of the lack of variety (going to the same job day after day tends to be quite monotonous - at least most of the time). But no longer. I'm not quite sure why - but I'm looking forward to being able to forge long term relationships with my co-workers for the first time. It may seem boring to someone on the outside - doing the same thing everyday for 2 years - but to me, it's new, different, and exciting. And that's how it should be.
