On it goes...

Haven't posted an update in awhile so here's a quick one for whoever is interested.

I graduated with my Bachelor's degree in Design Graphics Engineering Technology back in April(2014). Was also in a car accident two days before graduation. Fun times. I was the passenger and from what I understand the only one who got hurt. Thankfully everyone was able to walk away from the crash though the two vehicles were totaled. Banged up my knee good and got to deal with all the fun whiplash and chest pain from the seat belt doing its job of keeping me from smashing into the window. For the most part everything is healing up ok. I can now breathe mostly normally again, the neck only bugs me now and then if I tweak it funny, the knee is back to a usable state and I think I've actually started to get some feeling back where I scraped it. Having a numb patch of skin is a very strange feeling, especially when there is pain from the muscles underneath it.

I started my new job as a steel detailer for NUCOR Building Systems the Monday after graduation and I'm really enjoying it. Coming up on the 6 month mark now whoo! Basically I create erection drawings for steel buildings and also create part drawings for the shop to fabricate. Not quite the architect job I used to dream of but I like it and I've heard lots of good things about the company so I'll probably stick with them for awhile, besides that I'm contracted to work 18 months as a minimum so hopefully they decide to keep me after that.

Looking forward to going on a cruise with my dad's family in November. We haven't seen them for nearly eight years so I'm really excited to see everyone. And it will be the only real vacation I get until next summer. Didn't get to go on vacation with the family this year as you have to work for 6 months before you are eligible for vacation. The joys of becoming a working adult. Next goal is to save up so I can move out on my own at some point. XD
