Realizations

Sometimes I'll be driving down the road and I look at the palm trees and think to myself... "holy cow! you're in California! You really do live here!" and it just blows my mind! I still don't think I'm used to that fact and I don't know if I ever really will be. I've been here for a whole month now, even recieved two whole paychecks, and it's still crazy to me. The job has gotten easier as I've gone along... still a lot left to learn but I'm getting better and I think they're getting more used to me. I miss my home, family, and friends like crazy sometimes, but I just think about how I'll get to come home in just over a month and be there for a whole week. So while I'm here, I can work a lot and earn more money and SAVE my brains out.

Another realization I have is that the longer I'm away from home, the more I grow to love it. I appreciate the comforts that come and how fortunate I was to be able to live so close to home while I was at college! The more I'm away from everyone, the more I love them too. I thought that moving out here would make me forget about everyone as I made new friends and had new experiences, but I really just have grown fonder of everyone! It's crazy how that works but I'm still really glad about it.
