Adults suck, then you are one

Grown up things that I could not have imagined myself doing a few months ago:

1. Moved into my own apartment
2. Got car insurance
3. Leased my 1st car - a 2013 Hyundai Accent hatchback in light blue.
   It's a beaut!
4. Learned how to fill my own gas
   (guess this falls under a non-New Jersey thing)
5. Enrolled in life insurance via company benefits

Is it just me or is life moving way too fast? I just turned 23 this past July but I'm still mistakenly telling people I'm 22 because I can't keep up!

I'm still enjoying the ride though. Work has been good! I am on shop lock-down because I have to go to Controls in Oklahoma City next week. So I will not go on any more jobs until I finish Controls. I think it's just my segment, Wireline, that has Field Engineer Trainees go through a process where I meet and interview with 5 different people to discuss company policies, management, tool theory, etc. It's so much studying! I thought I'd be done after PEPTEC... nope. Yet I'm appreciating being able to get the opportunity to hit the books while working. Usually people stop in college but I like how Schlumberger emphasizes being on top of your stuff. You have to in order to succeed! I think it's also because we also have people working under us. I still can't get used to that! Having my own operators who are older than me and more experienced.

Tomorrow I am driving to Tyler, TX to attend a 2 day interpretation class so I know how to read data from the logs. Going to new places excites me. I haven't been to Texas often so yay. And Oklahoma next week wahoo
