I know I haven't been consistent with my updates, but that's what happens when life happens.
I'd says it's good to be back in the states, but I'd be a liar. There's so much I miss about our time abroad, like our friends, being able to walk everywhere and not having to buy gas at an outrageous price, not having to participate in the "real world" in which responsibilities rest on my shoulders. My only responsibility in Dublin was to make dinner for Armando and the suitees, drink pints and see everything I possibly can while there.
Other than trying to restore our place back to the condition it was in when we left, I've just been looking for jobs and working on my resume, being a college graduate now...you'd think it'd be exciting to not have to write essays on whatever topic or prepare for tests and presentations, but I found myself doubting my ability to embrace change, even though, more times that not, change is a positive thing.
So, I found myself a real job. It's only my first day at a small car insurance company, but I can tell I'm going to like it here. It's quiet (except for the country music being piped in, GROAN) and self-paced and I don't have to worry any longer about peeing glitter, and not getting enough hours at the ol' craft store. Here I can just sit and work and sip my tea and earn money to pay off all of that college debt I've been accruing. Not to mention to save up for a wedding and honeymoon and maybe a new apartment.
I wish I could post some of our other photos from Amsterdam and Barcelona, but my laptop contratcted an e-std of some sort...
more to come.
