So it's been a while since I've checked-in here.

A lot of new stuff going on: finished grad school, started a new job, moved to a new place. It's all taken a pretty big toll on me. A lot of huge changes in my life right now and the adjustment is way harder than I imagined.

Moving out of the old apartment was tough. I've never felt so homesick or sad about leaving a place as I did that time. I think I'm mostly over it now, but I was amazed how depressed I got about that.

The new job is super different from anything I've done. I'm still settling in and adapting, and occasionally feeling doubts over whether I should be here or not. It's also a career move though; the prospect that I'll be here potentially for the next 20-30 years is pretty daunting and probably the main source of me freaking out over it.

So things aren't bad. They're just... different. All the new stuff is cool but I haven't learned to love it yet. I'm just riding it out for now.
