Learning how to swim again

With college now another accomplishment I find myself regressing, my motiviation for the blog title, I now must learn how to swim again. College is done it is "real world" time, it is sink or swim time. Get a job, get set up, get money. Well as fun as being independent often seems to be it is also a confusing, lonely and learning path. I am not sure why i have started this blog. it just has been my experience in this past week of "real world" time that i have been on an emotional and intellectual overload and i need an outlet. i am not a phone person really to talk my thoughts out, i am too impatient to write this all down in a cute and tiny notebook, so i turn to technology and am trying to type it out. perhaps with the hope of sharing this page and finding others to commiserate with, learn from or maybe simply just a personal outlet to help me sort through my own self. what ever the case this blog page will be my new project.

now that the intro is done my issue of the week will be - Hobby:
I am in the market for a new hobby. since the only hobby i have had for the past 3 and a half years has been socializing. My job of being a student took up alot of time and when i wasn't doing anything relating to that i was actively looking for ways to not be alone. i was constantly with people doing anything. typically all boredom resulted in booze time with someone. now i find myself with a regular nine to five job and a body that still hasn't adjusting to the 7am wake up so my brain won't shut off before midnight. i now have 7 hours 5 days a week to fill up. booze is no longer an acceptable solution b/c i actually like my job and don't want to be hung over for it. hanging out with friends is no longer an acceptable answer b/c i only have about 5 people in the state i live in that i could even attempt to call a friend. i come home from work and stand in my room and say now what. i am at a total lose as to what to do with myself. i am currently in a desperate search for some direction some form of focus for my brain, energy and body. so a search for a hobby and time filler has begun. and well some friends wouldn't hurt either. Ill keep you posted on how the search goes.
