It has been a full two months since my last day at work. I knew that I wouldn't exactly hang around and be lazy, but I never expected to be as busy as I have been. Looking for a new job was a full-time job in itself! So, I didn't really get to do as much of the "me" things that I was looking forward to.

At my old job, I had ridiculous amounts of down time during which I would do schoolwork, write on my blog, and fool around on myspace. That may sound like a dream to some people, but it drove me nuts - I felt like I was completely wasting all of my intelligence. So, when all the time in the day was mine to do whatever I wanted, sitting around in front of the computer went by the wayside. I'm pretty proud of myself for getting to the gym every day and working hard to find a new job...

Which brings me to the new job, which I start tomorrow! I'm feeling anxious, nervous, excited. Of the job offers that I had, this one promises to be the most challenging. I know I am going to learn a lot. However, I am stepping out of my comfort zone for the first time in years. Something that needed to be done, yes, and it is the resounding answer to my "bored at work" complaint. I'm looking forward to being challenged.

Outside of work, my biggest challenge is going to be scheduling - keeping my workout routine, getting my schoolwork done, etc. Should be interesting.
