10 hour days...bring it on!

well, i survived my first week as a full-timer. i started last thursday and it has been GREAT! the night before my first day, i was hanging out with my relatives and my uncle kindly gave me a 5 hour energy shot because he warned me i would probably hit a wall sometime in the afternoon. he was right...around 2:30 on my first day, i wanted to just curl up in a ball and shut my eyes, but was soooooo glad i had that energy shot. it got me through the day and the evening. i really do miss my 3 hour afternoon naps and my afternoon trips to the beach, but i guess i had to grow-up sometime, right? friday night, i went to sleep at 7:45 (after 2 1/2 hours of traffic to get home) because i was soooo exhausted. saturday and sunday went by fast and then it was my WEEKEND!! i must say, i am a BIG fan of three-day weekends. i remember as a kid, three day weekends during the school year were the best, and now that i'm a working adult, i feel the same way.

work has been busy, but i feel like i'm holding my own and learning A LOT! i'm still waiting for those oh-so-important health benefits to kick in...i thank God everyday for keeping me healthy and safe for the past year. oh, AND i can't wait for the day where i can take a "paid vacation" or call in "sick" AND get paid for it...can't even fathom how awesome that'll be. praise God for opening doors and providing stability in my life right now!
