The only real difference between here and home (besides the weather) is my attitude change. I'm happier. I love where I'm wondering to every day. I love the guys I work with, they have been so amazing. And I'll miss them when I'm gone or their gone. I'm following my dreams. I'm doing something I've wanted to do for so long. And its been so hard for me to believe.
I guess, I never really expected to be able to follow my dreams. To really do what I wanted to do. But I am. Here I sit, still a bit amazed that I did what I always wanted to do. I'm in a different state, I'm in a different job; and I'm loving so much of it! Its just a slight variation of the original dream, with so many more opportunities.
I'm sure it will hit me eventually; that I'm 1300 miles from home. But since I'm already use to going and doing things alone, its nothing to go to the beach and just have a day by myself. I still haven't made any real good friends. But I think I've made a few good contacts! I mean, the one guy is headed to Colorado. That's a contact, and he's been helping me learn how to do what I'll need to know.
So, I'm living in my own world. I don't rush to work, I easily put in over 8 hours a day. I read a book at lunch. I enjoy having conversations with my colleges about what my future plans might be and if I'd like to work or Lockheed after I graduate. I did answer that with "if they offer, I probably won't pass it up, because if its not here that I want, than I can ask for a transfer and learn new things too". The one guy that interviewed me seemed to like that idea. And suggested trying out the Florida plant or Colorado. Oh, how he has no idea, I would go for it in a heart beat!
Reality, Reality, You so elude me right now! I hope you stay that way! And the time will go way too fast for my liking!
