Day 1

First day at my new job, although I’m writing this on my second day.

It was fun. Induction took forever. I got a new laptop that is fully brand new so that’s crazy, as an intern at that. I’m not quite sure what I’ll be doing so hopefully we find out as the days progress.

They got us lunch which was great. Although, I’m still scared to talk to people. I wonder how Cam does it. He can talk to anyone and there I’m sitting, silent. It’s scary. I’m a deer in headlights watching all of this go down. Sometimes I don’t even feel like I’m real.

I heard one of my old friends is in Harvard right now, lucky her. I always wanted to go to Harvard or MIT but I was not blessed with the funds to do so. The dream is still there though so maybe one day it will work out. I could get my computer science degree at MIT or a theatrical arts degree at Juliard or even a physics degree at Harvard (There is a science wing right?)

I feel like I missed out on so much purely based on where I was born and the financial and religious state of my parents. Of course I wouldn’t trade them for the world but if I was born in Canada I’d be a star ice-hockey or figure skating champ, if I was born in America I would be a genius physicist, Asia, Robotics innovator, Europe, Arts talent. Life is full of what-ifs and one shouldn’t dwell on what could’ve been but sometimes… I just can’t help it.

On happy news, I’m right above a Vida so I can get my favorite coffee everyday.
