Wetting my toes...

The combination of unemployment, boredom, and Raoul has convinced me to start a blog. Considerable time has passed since I've ventured into the social sphere of the Internet. It's a new world--for today, I will just get my toes wet.

Can you imagine how hard it was to keep in touch with all the people you've run into before the Internet? Maintaining friendships and relationships required much more effort. Both a blessing and a curse, I suppose.

I'm remembering my first two years of college, and I find it hilarious that my roommates and I would actually IM each other, despite being a few feet away from each other. Life is so much different now living at home, especially after my retirement from sbux. It's hard to believe I worked there for five years, which seems both like an eternity and a mere second. Now that I'm not working (to focus on school), I somewhat wish that I had done the same while I lived on campus. I probably missed out on a lot of Discovery Health with Tory, Inuyasha with Catherine, or learning to juggle tennis balls at the boys apartment. On the other hand, my first couple years at sbux were the better share of my time there.
