first day.

From the eyes of a newbie's first day.

Today, September 7, 2011 was the first day of my career. Last night I didn't sleep very well, I kept waking up thinking I had overslept, and then left and hour early for work to make sure I got there with plenty of time. 

Because Indianapolis is a new city to me I am staying with my mothers friends parents old friends of 22 years. They were gracious enough to take me in. Everything seems too good to be true right now, I keep thinking that I will walk into my new job and suddenly wake up from a heavy sleep. Until I do wake up this is a pretty amazing dream, exactly what I had been blogging about for quite some time.

Personally I thought that the first day would be more monumental, don't get me wrong it was a good day, but it felt just right and ordinary. I think this is a good thing, everyone who works there is extremely nice, so inviting, and I got to work on a project my first day which was exciting. When I got back to my mothers friends parents friends of 22 years I felt satisfied, unstressed, and I couldn't wait to go back. 

Finally I feel comfortable and wanted by a company, and by such distant connections that have taken me in. I love Chicago, and I will always miss it as long as I am away. But Indianapolis, so far, has brought a warmth to me, and I hope to bring something to it.
