willy wonka is my bitch

So I haven't updated in a ridiculously long time. Let's start with the basics. Graduation in May. In all honesty, being an alumnus sucks. I don't like not having that place to go back to. But I'll manage. Now I find myself in Pennsylvania, working at a chocolate plant. No, not Hershey. But it is in a small town in Amish Country. I've just gone from smaller to smaller cities. I grew up in El Paso, a city of 750,000 + the 1.5 million in Juarez. Then I moved to South Bend. 150,000ish. Now, I live in Lititz, a town of 9,000, that is right outside of Lancaster, a city of 55,000. Apparently the metropolitan area is like 500,000, but there's no way to get from place to place easily. I've also gone from Southwest to Midwest to Northeast, each change being harder than the one before. But I think the biggest change is just going from being a student to actually having a job/career. That is quite a jump.

So now I have a job. And I am living in a brand new place. And I don't know anyone here. Yet. I am getting to meet people though, so that's cool. I've been out a few times. I don't know. I just need to get used to actually introducing myself with no precedent. It's not like having class with someone or meeting them from a club or something. Now, there's really no reason why I should introduce myself to people other than people at work. Whatever, now I'm rambling.

Anyway, back to the chocolate. Yeah, I'm working for a chocolate plant. I currently am in training. This means that my job is to learn how everything in the plant works. I don't really have any duties or responsibilities currently, persay. I just have to learn. And they don't really guide me too much. It's like being homeschooled. And I haven't figured out a way to get free chocolate to send to people. We like to sell our chocolate and not give it to employees. So I apologize in advance for not being able to supply the world with chocolate. Don't worry, I will find a way, just not immediately. Which reminds me, if you want chocolate, email me. oscar.u.garcia@gmail.com .

Alright, that's my newest update. It's boring. But the basics usually are. Maybe in the future I'll actually have a good post.
