Hello Again World

Wow! It has been ages since I have written in this blog or read up on anyone else's blogs. This summer has been in a word...hectic! To fill in anyone who still might read this I graduated of course and was lucky enough to get a great job on the same day I moved out of my apartment. I am the residential manager at a group home for the developmentally disabled. It isn't exactly the field I saw myself starting out in because my typical population has been gerontology, but I have really enjoyed the job so far. It can be stressful at times though because of silly little company politics that get in the way or state regulations that can drive us all crazy. On the plus side, I work with really great people and my residents never stop making me laugh on a daily basis.
The only downsides I have found to being a grown-up so far are lack of free time and paying bills. I got a new car in July...a beautiful black Toyota Solara convertible and now a decent portion of my hard earned dinero is going towards car payments and insurance for her, but it's worth it to have a new pretty car to cruise around in.
I decided I should update this blog today since I haven't since like May and so many new developments have occurred since then. Life after college has been good so far but it feels so strange to not be getting ready for school again right now. Everyone else is packing, moving and stressing out and I am sitting by and just watching. It's a bittersweet feeling because as happy as I am to a college grad a part of me misses the excitement of apartment shopping and the care-free college lifestyle. I am turning 22 in a little over a week and I am really starting to feel old. Not actual old of course, but not a child anymore old. And since all of my friends are moving back to school in the weeks to come I will have a lot more free time on my days off so I guess starting up the blogging again might have been a good idea.
