So here is an update on the life of Nick.   
The job is going well.  I realized today that I really loved my job at the University.  It really was a great fit for me.  It allowed me to be myself with no regrets.  I could talk as much as I wanted, and as little as I wanted.   It allowed me to see the country and above all, drive to different parts that I probably never would have gotten the chance to had I been in another job.  Most of all, it allowed me to have an impact on someone's life, which at the end of the day is all I want to do with my life.  
*Warning soapbox about to be stepped on*
So many of us live day-to-day just trying to get by.  I realized this early in my life, especially after 2 different jobs.  I met so many people along the way that had been in the same job 3 or 5 years.  Waiting for something to happen.  When I woke up that day and quit my job, I decided that I would no longer wait for things to happen to me, that instead that I would have to make them happen.  
So here I sit again, with a new job.  I'm only a month into, and yet somehow it feels like I'm waiting for something to happen.  I leave work filling like I could have done more, like I should have done more.  I should've had a direct impact.   Perhaps, it will happen.  But, I've also decided that I can no longer wait.  Because once you have touched the "rainbow" the last thing you want to do is stare at it out of a window.  
*Soapbox off*
Don't get me wrong, I'm not out for a new job and I don't hate my current one.  If anything I'm writing this as a testament to where I am and where I want to be.  I know that me leaving my job in DC was not without thought.  I know in my heart it was done for a bigger reason, one that I probably won't ever know the answer to.  So, I'll wait to tell you what the happs??

it was hard to leave my job in atlanta for this one, and i certainly have had doubts about this one from time to time. but i made a step in the right direction.
i'm sure you've done the same, be it in career or in life (or both).
Well...I was where I was for 5 years. TODAY is the first day of
my new job. So we'll see if I have made something happen in my life successfully.
