For the last few weeks, I have been asking myself if all this trouble was worth it. Was it worth leaving a comfortable job for something new? Was it worth leaving my friends only to be a stranger trying to fit in? Was it worth leaving something I knew how to do well to being a freshman again and trying to relearn everything I knew? Was it worth all this effort , pain, heartache, and frustration?

Well, friends…I got my first full paycheck today. And let me just say…it was worth it.

Dad, I’ll finally be able to pay you back! :)

This weekend is FFM: Sacramento. Brian is bowling up there, so I will be photographing various people and visiting with our Gender Relations Advisor. Should be a nice weekend. Looking forward to it, but not necessarily the drive. But Brian and I are the masters of the roadtrip, so it should be fine. I’ll keep you advised of the happenings…and cameras will be in tow, so look forward to a videographic representation of our journey.

Happy Friday, people! :)
