I can't believe its been this long
Yes, I realize it has been almost a YEAR since I wrote in this, but I am making an effort to get back into this. Things like this are really what I need to keep myself from going crazy on these slow days at work. Yes, I said work. I've officially been a member of the real world for 6 months now, and that means I get up every morning, work for 8 hours, go home, and sleep. Working in the Nation's Capital isn't as bad as I thought it would be, but sometimes the drive gets to me. Let's see...what else has happened that I need to tell you about? Well, let's start with the good stuff first:
1. Serafin is in Dayton, OH going to grad school for computer science. Its being paid for by the government (which branch is classified) and he is getting what he wants. I miss him for sure, but its nice to see him get his dream!
2. I work for Lockheed Martin, make a great salary, and actually don't mind this job most days ( and no, I don't build planes or spaceships)
3. I've managed to keep in touch with almost all of my friends from College better than I ever thought I would be able to
4. I have a teacup chihuahua puppy that is the light of my life
5. I may be moving in with my cousin very soon, which would be awesome
6. I kind of really love my life right now, which is a rare thing
Now, for the depressing stuff:
1. I lost a friend very close to me in October, and that was really hard to deal with (but thankfully I had my friends to go through it with me)
2. This past weekend I lost 2 members of my family within 2 days of each other, and we are still kind of reeling from that
3. I miss Serafin so much it hurts, but I don't know what to do to fix the problem
4. Frictions between my mother and I are getting worse, even though I don't think there is anything I can do to correct them
5. I'm getting older and realizing what that means.....
But, if we want to get technical, the good things in my life far outweigh the bad, so I can't really complain. Sorry for the short update, and sorry that it didn't include alot of the details of stuff that's happened, but I wanted to give an update without taking five days to write it all out. I will probably be writing in this again today, and I'm going to post links to this on Facebook and Myspace, and hopefully this will go back to being the main form of blogging I do. Anyway, I need to pretend like I'm working now.....gotta love that whole "responsible adult thing!" Later!
