First Day of School... or not
All of my friends in NC started school today. I did not. It's a very strange feeling, not going back to school. Part of me wishes I were still working on my PhD. Then I remember how much I hated the last 2 years I was in school, and the feeling fades. But it was still strange when all my friends went back today and I worked as usual. It was also strange when they had the summer off and I was working. Working from home gives me a bit of freedom, though, so I was still able to run around and do things with them during the day hours. Now, however, they're back in school and on the graduate student schedule, and I fear we won't be spending as much time together. I may not miss being in school, but I do miss the camaraderie that I shared with fellow students while in school. I don't have that same feeling with coworkers. I have no desire to "hang out" with coworkers like I did with fellow classmates. Real life is much more difficult than anyone cares to tell you. I'm learning this on a daily basis.
In other news, my job is going well. I've been assigned to research the Monte Carlo Method and figure out how best to apply it to what we do. It should be interesting. I hope I'm up to the task, as reading about it thus far has been a bit daunting.
After coming back to LJ having been gone for a while, I realize that none of my friends post anymore other than 1. I find this a bit sad. I wonder if anyone even keeps up with it anymore. ... I think I will begin posting on a more regular basis. I'm finding it rather therapeutic. So if anyone does read this or is reading this I apologize in advance for the multiple wedding venting sessions that this will inevitably serve as for the next few months.
