Hup, so it's been a bit since I last posted something spiffy there.

Seems like later this month I'll be starting work. One of the universities in New York City is in the process of hiring me as an officer with department of public safety. I've been enjoying my vacation a whole lot, but I guess it had to end eventually. Some time in the future I think I would like to work for NYPD or another municipal agency, but the hiring process for those sorts of positions is more of a pain in the ass and a larger community than I would like to work for at the time.

My focus with this is to move into the city and get situated there, so getting this job is perfect for that. Pay is comparable to city PD with not quite as crazy a workload. Since I got out of the Army 5 months ago I've been on an extended vacation. I was getting pay still all the way until March and have done a good job of keeping my savings in order. I'm really surprised and glad how quickly I adjusted back to civilian life and the real world- it honestly kinda feels like I was never in the Army at all, which is how I want it. Over the course of the past months I took a 5 week road trip across the country, resumed hanging out with my friends, got an amazing boyfriend (who's birthday is today!), and did all sorts of other random shiz from drinking on a beach house on fire island to exploring abandoned industrial buildings. I've been sleeping at my family's house when I wasn't out at a friend's dorm or something, so I'm excited to be getting an apartment for myself some time next month.

So yeah, that's the current state of affairs in the world of fawks.
