It's been over a month since I started working at a daily newspaper. With college behind me and the world in front of me, I will admit sometimes it's been overwhelming. You have those moments of "am I doing everything my boss needs me to do?" or "is this article ok?" You have some moments of doubt, but somehow you push by them and keep going.
It's kind of been nice working a full time 40 hour a week job, driving my car, coming home to my apartment and spending weekends with my boyfriend. Eventually it settles into a routine. Everything becomes the norm. But then you have those little things that make each day special.
Like today, I don't have any cases in court, but I'm off to a new boutique that opened recently in a half hour and then this afternoon visiting a camp that's teaching its campers to refurbish computers with the help of local college students to give the computers to the needy. It's a satisfying job to know I can make a difference in the world. Or like the fact that this weekend, I'm looking forward to going strawberry picking and go kart racing with the boy. It's the little things.
Sometimes yes, working in the real world feels robotic. It feels like the same thing day after day, but then you have to remind yourself of the things that make each day different. I quite like being in the working world. It's a lifestyle that suits me well.
