2010, it came so very fast. Just to think I was but in Middle School when the new millennium started, now I have graduated as a member of the class of 2009.
With a new decade comes new challenges. For the first time in my life there is no “preset” goal. When I was a little kid the next year always had some finite goal. Make it from one grade to the next, and after high school, graduate college. Now I have done all that and the work world is open to me. It is an uncertain future, I have always had school to look forward to, but now that too is behind me.
Employment has been interesting. I have bounced around from internship to internship, done odd jobs here and there, interned on a feature film, flew out to Arizona for a short film, and now I am working for Apple part time as a Specialist at the Bridgewater Apple Store. Each one of these experiences has been rewarding in its own way, and I am making new friends wherever I go. Each thing has been a learning experience, with new challenges wherever I go.
I am looking forward to a new decade, and I am curious what new life goal I will uncover along the way. I do strangely miss the structure that school brought during the past decade, and I wonder what new structure, or lack thereof will replace it.
So cheers to the new year and the uncertainty it brings!
