i just visited my blog and decided the old layout was boring and depressing, so i changed it. i can do things like that around here. and that i need to continue blogging. evidently, it can be beneficial in furthering your career. other than that, i just kind of wanted to. is that so wrong? i need a new name up top…chadvaughan.com is stuffy and uncreative. but i don’t want to be cliche. your two cents is welcome.

is january already about a week from being over? this month has flown by and had plenty of blog-worthy news. although i have not cared to update this puppy. nor do i really care to relive said events here. just know that they happened.
one thing that i am really excited about is my new job. not this one. or this one. or this one (though i am still doing it part time…killer discount…don’t judge me). but this one. this coming monday will be my first day at my new job (in admissions). i am excited about it. although i kind of feel like a kid approaching the first day of school after summer break…nervous, excited, the whole bit. my nerves are kicked into full gear, dreading being “the new guy.” although i am excited to have something that will give me a stable schedule and room to grow, advance, and try something new. i’ll let you know how it goes…maybe.
i’ve also started reading a new book at the recommendation of a friend. the beginning of the month was kind of rough to be honest. still no job, no growing social network (although i really do love my friends here), nothing really tangible to look forward to or even to hold on to. not that tangible is always necessary…but it doesn’t hurt every now and then. i had a conversation with another friend (who may or may not know that book even exists) who asked me, “are you telling yourself the truth?” that stuck with me. i hadn’t been telling myself the truth. when i have a little more time to write about it (and continue processing it), i will.
until next time. some time soon. hopefully. soon-ish.
hi, my name is chad. welcome to my blog. it's nothing much; just a little bit about what i think, what i see and what i live. i am not trying to change the world (at least not today)...just sharing mine.

Love your new format and, as always, appreciate your musings!!!! Wishing you the very best on your new position and they just don’t have any idea what a “great package they got” when they hired you!!!!
