Slogging through another day at work by taking a break to do some blogging. I find the work to be rather tedious, with its 40 hour weeks and early mornings. But those are things that I was bound to become accustomed to at some point in life. Most of my friends don't have jobs this summer. The ones who do are for the most part working a maximum of 20 hours per week and in a more social setting than my job, in a lonely laboratory with 3 others much older than myself. This is not to say that I have a lot to complain about. The work is overall intellectually stimulating and the pay is decent. I've just realized that this realm of applied science is not where I want to spend my career, at least not at the bottom of the pecking order as an intern. I want to experience college and leave my small town, which has never held any kind of future for me. It's only 41 days until I leave, but it seems like and eternity right now. I need to go to college for my own enjoyment and to put myself in a situation to be wherever I want to be. Until then, I'll continue the slog.
