First Day Of Work

Today was my first day of work and arrived at 7:22 a.m. because that's when the trolley drops me off. So far, all that happened was that I got my badge and my "cardkey," and a place to sit.

I don't know a single soul here and feel completely out of place. It's old - an old naval base building, like you see in the movies,everything is. I'm the youngest person here by far. I met the other programmers and they're mcuh older, maybe in their late twenties.

I wonder if I made the right decision to take this scholarship. I felt sooo sleepy today around 2:00. I work from 7:30 to 4:00, with a measly 30 minute lunch. Luckily my girlfriend brought a nice lunch and we ate on the pier.

I have something planned for my first paycheck. First, give my mom some money, then take my girlfriend out to a nice restaurant to celebrate. I found a necklace for her that I hope she'll like.
