There really isn’t a feeling quite like leaving New York. I’m on a bus right now heading home. I’m not the homesick type, but it always feels so good to go home. I’m sure there are many reasons why (see friends, see family, get away from work), but I think a decent part is just getting to live a life different from the day-to-day routine you’ve established. What I mean to say is that even though there are loads of problems and sources of stress in your day-to-day life, it’s incredibly refreshing to realize that there are alternate lives you could be leading where those things wouldn’t matter at all. I guess it just puts everything in perspective.
Anyway, I apologize if I haven’t ever really said much in detail about work – where to begin? Let’s try the bullet point format:
- I keep really busy and work long hours (but I’m used to it now, so no worries)
- Due to bullet point 1, I’ve gotten used to a loootttt less sleep than I got back in school; however, I still suffer from TV/movie-induced narcolepsy
- Starting work in the finance industry when I did was a crazy experience, but I’ve learned an absurd amount and I think in the end it’ll be a good thing
- I’m starting to get a lot more responsibility for a lot of new, different things
- Remember when I said I wasn’t doing it for the money? Well, I think this last year proved it. So ha!
I think that’s it for now, I’ll keep it short. Except one word of advice: Dean R. and I went to see a pre-screening of Transformers and it blew chunks. Don’t waste your money or time.
