59 days


"From the eyes of a newbie 59 days"

     All life’s experiences lead to something, and most times I don't know what that something is until years later. I have worked for the last 59 days without a day off. Today is not only my 25th birthday, but also a 21 hour work day, and tomorrow starts my 10 day vacation that I have been dreaming about for the last two months. Although I am exhausted and relieved, I still have a feeling of guilt for taking days off. I have an obsession with working and reaping the rewards. 
     This past year has been one of the most pivotal points in my life and was jam-packed with experiences. To end my 24th year of life I cannot wait for my first trip to Florida and first paid vacation. I have much to celebrate. This coming year I want my focus to be "quality of life," these 15 hour days, and juggling two jobs will have to be cut down. I learned just recently that your body can handle only so much, and I finally know my limit. 
     Now in my 25th year of life I feel like a grown up. This past year has been a journey and I am glad I have a blog to show for it. “From the eyes of a newbie” I am very blessed, but now 10 months into my job, and settled into my new city, my blog will morph with my place in life:
