Getting Started

Post grad life is weird. I only walked across the stage at my commencement ceremony a month ago, but it already feels like a lot has changed. Take, for example, the fact that while driving today, I honked at someone who cut me off. Never have I ever, and never did I think I would. 

The strangest thing though, is that graduation hasn't quite hit me yet. Since I still work on campus and live in my same apartment, my routine really hasn't changed all that much, except that I go to bed earlier. While visiting my parents this weekend, I told my mom that I would take something "back to school." Except I'm not going back to school. Probably ever. 

So, here I am, taking advantage of a little down time to finally get my site up and running. Despite having designed an online portfolio from scratch in my final vis comm course, I had some hosting research and editing to do before I finally pushed this baby (and myself) out of the nest. 

Because I love my job, and because I know I am getting great experience there, I keep forgetting that my contract is only through December. I'm getting a little too comfortable on this bridge that this job has built for me -- the one that takes me away from the life of a student and will hopefully place me gracefully into the life of a full-fledged working adult. As grateful as I am for the opportunity and as much as I've loved the experience, I am excited to have taken this step to the other side.
