Zoo Station

I am now in Evanston. Away from family. Away from friends. Away from my girlfriend. This is a scary yet simultaneously exciting experience. My girlfriend will be moving up sometime in May, but being away from her for long periods of time isn't easy. Just knowing that I won't see her every weekend is hard enough. I know that it'll be a long while before I get to see a lot of my friends and my family, and that compounds things. It's not easy meeting new people when everyone has their own agenda and that social opportunities aren't the easiest things to find. One false move and you screw up completely. I do need to give it more time, but it's a big adjustment
However, I know this is the best thing for me. I'm starting grad school tomorrow, and I am searching for a good engineering job in the process. I am currently unemployed, and it sucks, but I know I'm waiting for something good to come along.
It's a hard road, a new place to drive. And I need to drive it. If I don't, I'll never know what I'm made of, and I need to keep moving forward. I'm just trying to find ways to make it easier on me. If anyone has any advice, I'm all ears.

Thanks for putting up with my rants. And no matter what happens, you have to go see The Dark Knight. It's just that good.
