I'm becoming a morning person.

I woke up at 5:45 this morning and made my first commute as a grown up. It's a weird feeling knowing that I have a real job with real responsibilities. It's weird being a full blown adult in general. Granted, I'm only working part time for now, but it's a big step in the direction I will be heading during my 20's.

While training and the first few days of a new job are usually the worst, but it went quickly and I am shadowing different people this week to get a feel for what the company is doing and other peoples' responsibilities. It's a little hard for me to stay detached and remember that while some aspects of their job are important for me to know, it's mostly for me to figure out how things work in general and see what I can improve upon from a graphic and usability standpoint. Hopefully by next week I will be set up with an office and my own responsibilities. I already have multiple ideas to work on, and there is a lot that already needs to be done.

But, it is nice to have a job where I can actually be proactive and creative and looked at like an equal and a person with value. I also get to wear nice clothes, which is a nice change of pace and probably the biggest adjustment out of all of this.

Tim's dad found me a car this weekend, so I will be getting that by Wednesday hopefully. I need to take my driver's test out here again and get all the registration crap sorted out which is going to be a big pain in the ass because it all has to be done so quickly, but it's the last big hurdle to being a real californian and being completely settled in out here.

So, basically I need to get through this week and I'll be good to go. In the meantime I'll suck it up and deal with it. At least I'm doing something productive and making some money.
