It has been almost a month since I have written... what a slacker I am. However, my excuse is that I was entirely undisciplined and focused on going out, sleeping in and shopping. (I am not even trying to make myself sound good.)
However, my new life activity is much more responsible and appropriate to support my lifestyle: work. I just started my new job at CGI yesterday, and it is a fantastic feeling! I will not lie that I am financially motivated to do well: Europe and my recent "summer lovin" weeks have left me considerably lighter in the wallet.
Other than it being all about the money (thanks Ivey), I am also excited to be keeping busy and contributing to some greater cause other than myself. My coworkers (thus far) are great, mostly men, but I like to be the differentiating factor anyway. Getting up in the morning is not as painful just now, but I can only imagine my change of opinion once winter comes around and it's pitch black outside.
I found that ever since I got back from Europe, I have a new attitude towards life. Sounds like a general sweeping statement, but I can feel the difference in my positive/laissez-faire reaction to events that would normally infuriate me. The change is probably imperceptible to anyone but me, but I am either much happier (no, it's not drugs), more confident or just blasé (in the most positive context possible).
I hope that this attitude stays with me, and I'm inclined to think it's a permanent change... although everyone tells me to give it a few weeks or until my boss first yells at me... here's to wishful thinking that that won't happen anytime soon.
