It has been a month and half since I made the biggest change in my life. So far so good...I have been trying to take advantage of my town and all the great things to do in close proximity. I have already been to the city (NYC) three times and was lucky enough to watch a Boston Red Sox v. New York Yankees in the tradition filled Yankee Stadium. It has been great. My job has been everything I expected... It is very different than my time at my former job, but I have been able to get a handle on what my duties are and have put my own touch on many different things. My goal is to make everyone's job easier and I believe I am on my way. Now if I can just cut down on the stupid little mistakes that would be great. That is just me trying way too hard.
You always fear that you would regret your decision, especially one that you can not easily take back. When I was making the decision there were many things that I had to consider. At the end of the day, there were many reasons I made the decision. This was my one opportunity to take a chance. A chance to really see what I was made of. In Gainesville, I knew I would always be okay. I knew there were people that cared about me and people that looked out for me. I knew I would always had a job I enjoyed and I would always have people to spend time with. At the same time I always felt that something was missing. I had always worked so hard and I never just wanted to be comfortable in life. And that is where I was at...comfortable and somewhat happy. Of course the change to CT did not come with any guarantees. I came up to New Haven with only two family members that lived within driving distance (Bronx, NY). I had a job that I knew was the right fit and provided more opportunity than I ever had at my former job. I knew when it came to friends that I am likeable enough that I will find my nitch, but it has helped that everyone that I have met has been amazing. I still think it has been easy because of a supportive family and great friends that I left behind. I have realized that your true friends will never let you feel the true distance.
