Back in office, will be for the rest of the week. I’m spending the day going through tutorials for Vue, Nuxt and Next. It doesn’t seem like they’ll be giving us any work at the moment so we’ll see what we get. They sent us a Udemy course to complete, although I’m still waiting for my link at the time of writing this. For my first real job I’m having fun.
It’s weird, I wanted to do this and now that I’m actually in the system, it’s scary. I mean, when isn’t it scary to be doing something new. I’m very bad at meeting new people so it’s even more scary than usual. This time I don’t really have someone to fall back on. Cam is nice and all but we aren’t close so it’s weird hanging around him the whole time.
I met our CEO, well one of them, today. He’s really cool. I’m enjoying the environment this company fosters. I’m learning a lot about the community that engineers have, although there’s not a lot of us in house. And for once there isn’t a feud between Jo’burg and Cape Town which is nice.
Sometimes I sit and I realize I’m not a teenager anymore. It’s weird. I’m surrounded by people who have their lives sorted out and here I am just starting out. Heck, I’m busy looking at homes and apartments because I already feel the need to move out. It was a huge wakeup call when some of my now colleagues were talking and asked what my age was. I felt like a child saying 20, A CHILD. How does one feel like a child at 20 years old? I thought my life was over at 16 and here I am, almost 21, and I don’t feel like I’m ready to start my life.
Do we ever get over it?
At the time of writing this I still haven’t sorted out my blog so this isn’t being published day of so maybe I have an answer by the time I start publishing these things. If I remember correctly, I only wrote one or two things during my time at school so it’s definitely a jump from then to now. I wonder if anyone, besides me, is reading this. But then again, this is just an archive of who I am, with somethings shielded from the public of course.
Reading is fundamental but writing is life, hopefully I can live a little more through this journey.
