Realizations

It is week number three here in Riverside, California, and I am having a great time. I am learning a lot more than I ever thought I would. First and foremost, the term "I never want to live here" has never seemed more clear than it does right now. Riverside is defintely not on the top of my "places to live" or even "places to visit" list. The people all seem to be pretty nice, but the entire city smells like manure and there is very little to do within 25 minutes of the city. Oh well. I have also decided that I am probably going to stick with this job for another year. There are parts of the job that can be very rough. I miss my family and my friends very much. The support that I've gotten from everyone has been wonderful. However, I have never enjoyed life as much as I am right now. I am not stressing out on a daily basis about my job and I am having a great time. It's good to learn a thing or two. Hopefully I'll learn more as time goes on.
