Welcome to a New Chapter

When I started this blog roughly two and a half years ago, I made it my goal to document my transition from college student to independent adult. Though I've skipped a few weeks here and there (last week for example for a quick trip down to Disney World), I've somehow managed to keep up with my weekly posts. Some weeks were tougher than others.

Wish I was still here instead of under 21 inches of snow.

Tomorrow is a big day for me. Not because I have to dig my car out of a huge snow drift (though that will require a lot of strength). No, tomorrow, is the my first day at my new job.

Its another big change after a very long list of changes that have happened in this past year. Then again, what is life if not a series of changes? I made the transition from college to the work force. I survived moving from Maryland to New Jersey by myself. I've learned to live with a roommate again. All changes that I have faced.

Thinking about tomorrow (because I'm always over thinking), I am very much reminded of my feelings leading up to my first day at my first job out of college. I remember wondering if my new coworkers would like me. If I was ready for this position. Or if I had imagined the whole thing and I hadn't actually been hired. (This is just the short list).

I've already committed myself to this change. I just have to remember to calm down a breath. Am I scared? Sort of. I'm more anxious than scared. If there's one thing I know about myself, it's that I like the familiar. Starting a new job at a new company, moving from one state to another, making friends are examples of things that aren't familiar. I just need to square my shoulders, walk with confidence, and be prepared to learn.

I might not be the best at handling change, but I can act like I can. A few deep breaths and a calm mind will get me ready for anything. A great outfit helps too.

I'm going to Hogwarts!

Apparently Jurassic Park is near Hogwarts!

Until next week.

Welcome To A Nice Break

Hello again loyal readers and followers (I know you exist). You guys probably noticed that I didn't post last week. Oops. Well I have a good reason for not posting last week. I was in Disney World! It was wonderful! It was warm and sunny and I got to wear shorts for the first time in a really long time. Of course when I touched down at BWI there was about six inches of snow on the ground. Good feelings gone.

To tell you the truth I really needed the break. This winter has almost killed me. It has been cold and gross. I have not enjoyed it, especially since I hadn't had real snow in four years. This is not what I like in a winter. I need Spring! Technically the equinox was on Thursday, technically they're calling for snow on Tuesday and I feel like I've been sucked into the Twilight Zone. This is why I needed a break with sun and no snow.

I was a kid in the candy store when I went. I hit all four parks in three days. I'd like to thank my cousin for the wonderful time and hope to see her again (most likely in the dead of winter when I need a vitemin D boost). I definatly did not act like an adult, though I did have an excellent Margarita at Mexico in Epcot. My cousins friends also sort of assumed I was a very tall twelve year old.

When I got back to the office I felt like I was out of whatever funk I had fallen into before leaving. I felt revitalized and really happy. I felt amazing and was ready to go back to work. So I feel I have a good reason for skipping last week's post.

If you enjoyed this post (or it really pissed you off) please so ment or share with your friend a, family or worst enemy. I love hearing from my readers. Until next week!
