Back to the Grind

Today was my first day of work. I'll be with the Service Authority for the next three weeks, doing the same job I did over the summer. It wasn't a bad first day back, I was my old effective self, diving right into the world of Solids analysis (figuratively, for the love of God). The lab crew was happy to see me again, and it was good to be back with them. Good memories of the summer.

I got a nice surprise, in that I get Friday off. It's a bit of a double-edged sword really, good because it's a day off (translation - not having to wake up at 5 AM), but bad because I don't work (translation - don't get paid). All in all, I'm only going to be working 10 days while I'm home for break. Not that I was intending on stashing away massive amounts of cash, but I'll take all the money I can get.

Wow, did that sound greedy.

Other than that, I'm not doing much else. I'll be heading to bed soon (sad, but necessary) and then more of the same tomorrow. Lather, rinse, repeat, and you've got my next few days. Just gotta make it to Thursday at 3 pm...

In other news, semester grades are up. I'm satisfied. Quite happy actually. This has been arguably the hardest academic semester yet (although last spring was pretty demanding), and I came out with really good grades. Yay for hard work paying off. I pretty much didn't stop working from August onward.

And I'm going to hit the ground running as soon as January 17th hits. This upcoming semester will be the real test I have a feeling. We shall see...
