(no subject)
So I did not realize I hadn't updated in like 5 months. Wow. My bad.
I have a few new friends so I guess I'll just combine my 'this is who I am' bit with my 'this is what I've been up to' bit!
So I graduated from the Unversity of Alabama in August with my degree in Chemical Engineering and I moved to Texas last month, where I'm working in the Pulp and Paper industry as a Process Engineer. The job was kind of rough at first. It was a big adjustment from my co-op and I was just frustrated with how sluggish things were at first. I felt like I was really getting ignored and while I recognize that happens some times and there were lots of other big factors coming into play, it's still frustrating and overwhelming when you're surrounded by new people and places and having a hard time finding your spot in life.
But things are getting MUCH MUCH better at work. I'm getting projects and getting to know the people and personalities that I work with and it's definitely not as miserable as it was to start.
I took a quick trip home weekend before last to visit my brother. He's in the Marines and he's stationed in DC so he was home for a week and I got to see him for about a day before I needed to come back to Texas and get back to work.
The mill going into an annual outage on Sunday which means I'm going to be working to the bone through the month of October. Bleh :(
In November, though, I'm going to finally get to take a trip back to Tuscaloosa to see my friends anddd see the Alabama/LSU game (if I can get tickets). Or at least tailgate! Wooot!
So, for those just tuning in, Bryan is a guy that I like(sleepwith) that I've been friends(talkingto) with for a couple of years now. He's going to grad school at USM and I'm going to try to visit him some time in November too, so I'm really looking forward to that.
Further, I'm stoke that it's fall and TV shows I love are coming back. I'm less stoked with how much my life is cutting into my WoW time! D: I want to raid Firelands! zomgarrrrrrrr Alright, okay, all kidding aside, my guild did just go through a merger and there are a ton of new people to meet and stuff and I've had no time really to get to be on the game. And when I do have time I'm just having trouble finding the motivation. Even if I have a free hour, it's hard to get anything done in the game in an hour. So I just don't even log on.
LALALALA WHAT ELSE IS THERE TO SAY?
I really don't know. :) HI NEW TEEN WOLF FRIENDS. I LOVE YOU, OLD FRIENDS. I hope everyone is having a lovely week. What kinds of things are you guys digging right now?
