The life of a recent college graduate

Last night as we were driving from my Alma mater in PA back to DC, my friend noted that since graduating and starting our "real" jobs, we no longer have major time points to look forward to, like summer and winter break. Life in the working world is in continual motion with little or no scheduled breaks, especially during the first year on the job (when vacation time is typically earned and very sparse - which makes creating your own breaks rather difficult but not impossible). It's not like it's necessarily a bad thing. It just takes a little getting use to after 17 years of summer vacations.

To quote Loverboy, "Everybody's working for the weekend." Thank God for the weekends!
