I have been meaning to do this for quite some time; blogging a fresh, that is!
Today is Tuesday, the 29th of May in the year of 2007. Earlier today I had an interview in Houston for a pharmaceutical sales rep position. It was an exhausting day, but the prospect of this job working out is exciting (and terrifying as well). If it doesn't work out, then that is just how it is.
My life sans TLU has been all kinds of things. I have cried excessively on more than one occasion, I have missed home terribly, I have been lonely and scared, happy and empty, bored and entertained, and constantly busy. I miss my friends in a totally different way than just being separated from them for the summers. Many of my friends have exciting adventures in store for them for the upcoming year! Indeed, I am both impressed with my amigos and honored to have such accomplished pals. From Chicago to England to Spain to Missouri to South America to Washington DC to Brooklyn to tackling new jobs and to switching up life plans completely - my friends have got it covered! I cannot say that I am as impressed with myself and my life plans, but they will come together, this I have to keep reminding myself.
So what's ahead? This summer will be filled with tackling down a satisfying job and finding a place to reside. I will also have to get over my personal hump and be happy with the decisions I make and the freedoms that I have (rather than comparing my ostensibly boring life to the exotic plans that so many of my friends have made for themselves)!
In addition to landing a decent job, this summer will also be occupied with wedding after wedding. I feel as though I should express more joy for my wonderful friends who are content in their relationships and ready to tie the knot - but the more weddings I attend, the more jaded I become. I am not anti-marriage etc, but I guess it is overwhelming. Maybe it is a challenge for myself alone. I am just becoming semi-comfortable with the idea of not being a student anymore and then I have to accept that many of my friends are changing their lives in a much bigger way. Nonetheless, I am happy for these people that are married or getting married, and I will gladly partake in reception food! BTW, if marriage is in the cards for me - eloping is looking mighty tempting!
I am hoping that blogging out my thoughts will be a source of catharsis for me. I am also hoping that I can be relatively diligent about it! Who knows...it might be another month before you read a new post. On any account, my blogs will be random in nature and most likely difficult to follow. I do not tend to set things up in a cohesive manner when I am blogging. I write terribly without revisions, so don't judge!
So now that I have finished writing my first blog on this thing, I will leave you with this
GO EAT ICECREAM. I mean seriously, milk and sugar and ice and all that deliciousness is a happy happy thing!
