So it's been a while. Yikes. Four months of no updates to this blog, that is absurd. For the people who do read this blog (probably a total of three people, myself included), I am not dead, just very very sorry. I MUST update this blog more. This is my pre-2016 New Years Resolution.
Anyhow, let's get to the life updates, shall we? We shall.
Well, I've moved! I picked up and left little ol' Iowa and have ventured out to La Jolla, California to help a friend with his start up business. Say what?! Yes. I dropped everything in Iowa to come out to SoCal for something that statistically has a 90% change of failing.
Why did I do it? Because I've always wanted to come out here. Ever since I was little, I've wanted to live here after visiting San Francisco and Hollywood for the first time. I fell in love with California at a young age, and it never went away. Still hasn't. The weather, the people, the California "lifestyle", the opportunities, did I mention the weather? Sure, it's crazy expensive to live here but I'd rather live on Ramen noodles everyday here in California than be able to eat lobster everyday anywhere else. Ya feel me?
though I'm quite partial to getting In-N-Out occasionally :D
So what do I do? I'm the Chief Operating Officer (oohhh fancy fancy) at a biotech, bioethics, and genomics company. For the past month I've been here, I've worked harder and learned faster than I ever have. I don't know if it's just the atmosphere of being somewhere I love, or if it's because I want this company to be successful. Probably both, right? Right.
I have never taken a leap of faith this big in my life. Before coming out here, I was terrified. It was the first time I had ever truly been on my own, in a completely different state. But sometimes you really do need to take giant leap like this. Or else you'll be the in the same place, doing the same thing, day in and day out. In hindsight, THAT is more terrifying than picking up and moving somewhere you've never lived before.
