Life is predictable and unexpected at the same time

I am still here in the Burg working. I love my job, but sometimes my social life really suffers as I am probably the only person my age in this town that isn't married with children. Most of my long time friends have just graduated and moved to different places so I have developed a new group of a few friends that are typically a bit younger than I. I enjoy hanging out with many of them, but sometimes I don't think they relate because of the stuff I have experienced in the past couple of years. I think a lot about my mom and the struggle of losing her and the adjustment it has been for my whole family and they are thinking about how they have a hard test to take and how their roommate doesn't like them and how hard that is. I often get a selfish attitude and get mad that they could be so consumed by something so insignificant. I know and understand that in each of our own spheres we have problems that seem like a huge deal to us, but I just struggle to sympathize with some people because of my experiences lately. I need to learn to be more understanding as I probably had similar struggles and frustrations when I was younger. Well, that is all that I have for today, but stay tuned for an attempt at staying more up to date on here.
