Missing for a month
I can't believe that I have been working for a month now, it seems so unreal. I never thought I would make it to the real world. It hit me when I went home last weekend and saw my diploma. I am an adult, that's scary. I'm expected to become a member of a working society where I can't fall back on school or my parents. T_T
The job is going okay. I'm still fighting two issues, the first is the fear of screwing up. The second is the feeling of inadequacy. I work with a bunch of PhD, post docs and employees that have been at the site for 25+ years. But I believe that those feelings will eventually fade, it helps that everyone is nice and also understanding.
The apartment is not so bad. I was finally able to fix my toilet. (LOL)The thing ran continuously, at least I don't have to pay for my water. That is included in my rent. ^_^
I'm also getting used to the area. Its a bit different from Beaufort and Columbia. But I'm glad that Cola is close by as well as other cities.
I have lots of free time that is currently occupied with studying. I know I just graduated from college and I'm still studying. I want to take the engineering fundamentals exam this October. Eventually I want to aim for the PE in chemical engineering. So I started cracking the books early. I usually set aside about two hours a night for the preparation for the exam. The weekends I try to take off. LOL Which might not be such a good idea, since the study guide has over 50 chapters. I hope I can get through them all.
I have alot on my mind that I'm trying to sort through. Hopefully writing it out will apease my mind and help the worry to fade.
