The times they are a-changing.

Just had to share this song with you guys because it's stuck in my head and the only way to get it out of my head is to get it stuck in yours.

SO, I feel like I talk about my work all the time, but I can't help it. This life is like a whole new life for me. It's like everything that we've ever worked for, studied for and stressed over all accumulated to this point in life. It's exhausting and scary, but I think the biggest negative emotion I'm feeling about being a working woman would be my struggle to find people who can relate to these feelings and changes in my life. 
(NOTE: There are positive aspects, too. I love human resources, I love my supervisor and I love not having homework. A LOT.)

Because I graduated relatively early compared to some of my friends it's just been hard to talk to them about my life now. They may not understand how I'm so tired when I'm not in school and working, I'm just working. Well, actually, sometimes I can't understand that myself. 
{Getting to the point of my story here.}

I finally got a chance to connect with one of my closest friends the other night. She's a married, working-woman so it's hard for us to coordinate our schedules sometimes. I had such a great time with her, but most importantly, SHE GETS IT. Granted, I may not be married so there are aspects of her life that I don't fully related to, but I felt like everything I was expressing made so much sense to her. It was a breath of fresh air to know that I'm not alone in feeling exhausted and worn out and all around unmotivated after work. 

It makes me a little nervous to work this way because I don't know how I could keep up an apartment or house. It just could not happen. 


On a super happy note, I'm going out with Dan to buy a bluray player, some makeup at Ulta, Away We Go (my favorite movie - on sale at Five Below), and Chick-fil-A! Eek!


Happy Saturday.
