I’m still adjusting to this “grown up” world. I wake up at 5:30 in the morning, hit the gym with the other early risers, get ready for work, hit up starbucks (sometimes), then head to work. I work at GGC during the day, and on some days, I head to the Loft for the closing shift. I just like to stay busy, and I think after six months of not doing much, people fail to realize that I can be a contributing member to society. I sleep better at night, and I just feel a lot better about myself.

I always knew that I was growing up, but it suddenly hit me last weekend. I was at my friend’s house after our friends got married. I was thinking about how things change so quickly. We have friends that are getting married, buying houses, and thinking about having children. Then I found myself thinking about buying a house; how I can get approved for a loan, build credit, etc. Who am I?

Anyway, work has been great. I haven’t done as much since they’re still getting my paperwork processed, but I love the people that I work with. Everyone in the Office of Public Affairs is different, but everyone works great together. I think it’s a great opportunity, and I’m doing what I love to do. Hopefully I’ll prove to everyone that I was the one they meant to hire!

By the way, I finally bought “Always Looking Up” by Michael J. Fox. Such an awesome book so far! I love optimism and optimists!
