Almost Grown Up

So this is my 100th post. I really kind of wished I had something deep or meaningful to say. Unfortunately, as of late, I’ve had a bit of writer’s block. Not a huge deal, I think it’s partially due to the lots of work and the resulting lack of energy I’ve been feeling. I need a weekend where I can sleep until noon, rather than one where I’m up running errands at the crack of dawn. Hopefully this weekend will be just what I need, though I’m feeling alright today with last night’s giant night’s sleep.

So, in honor of my writer’s block (suggestions anyone?), I thought I’d post a recap of where things stand now, at the 100 post mark:

The Apartment: Is beautiful, I love it. I have a few things that are getting shipped to my parents house to be stored based my having no idea how to read a floor plan, and I still need a second bookcase and the giant tv (Hi! Maybe turn on my paycheck sometime soon? That would be great, thanks), but I’m having a good time.

Life here: I’m getting used to life here. I wonder sometimes if I should have picked a slightly different neighborhood. There’s a weird mixture of people here (which makes traffic horrible) and the aforementioned lack of quality Chinese food concerns me. However, this is the south, and there is great BBQ! And given my love for anything with BBQ sauce on it, I should be ok. The neighbors are generally nice though, even if there is a little dog somewhere who thinks it is his job to wake me in the middle of the night by barking ferociously. I’m sure he’s scaring something off that would have otherwise killed me.

La: Is coming! Next weekend! We haven’t seen each other since I got here, and it has been hard, so this will be really great. Can’t. Wait.

Work: Great, but busy, and not without its annoyances (see paycheck, missing). I love the job, and I love my coworkers, which is a lot better than other jobs I’ve had (someday remind me to tell you all why you shouldn’t apply for college internships with a girlfriend if there is any chance of you breaking up).

Friends: My friends here are almost all work friends. Some I work with directly, some a little more indirectly. But I have one non-work friend here. It’s a different balance than I’m used to, but I think I’m also not used to working with people who I really enjoy hanging out with. Perhaps it’s just a matter of getting used to a new work/life balance. I’m going to try to get involved more in my church, which will help me branch out a bit socially.

How is everyone else doing?
