Cue Real Life

I spent the afternoon editing and formatting a report.  Formatting always takes longer than I anticipate.  In the midst of that, I received a bunch of frustrating emails I needed to respond to, and then my stomach was growling.

Because I was kind of annoyed about the report, not to mention the emails, I don’t really remember how yummy my snack was.  Is that an excuse to meet up with Clif again today?  Probably not…  oh well, my half a Clif bar, juicy pear and dried fruit was a decent enough snack break!  And of course, Tettles made his usual afternoon appearance.

I did get some good news today though!

I’m starting my new job on Monday!

Some paperwork was taking awhile to go through, so I’ve been anxiously waiting to start the job.  I’ve been finished my masters degree for almost a month, and although the time off has been good, I love the professional working world and I’ve been antsy about starting "real life".  Being a student has its perks but I have had enough school to last me… well… a life time.

Starting a full-time office job and will be a huge adjustment in a few ways:

  1. I need to figure out a new exercise schedule
  2. finding a balance between work/friends/fitness/fun stuff/everyday responsibilities will be important
  3. back to packing a lunch everyday!
  4. planning groceries and food ahead of time will be a must for me - otherwise, I’ll be eating soup every night

Should be fun figuring that stuff out, right? :)
