I'm now about a month into work, and I've found that work can be 
interesting in terms of working with tech I'm not 100% familiar with.
But in away, it has ultimately felt like work. So it's not as... 
fulfilling(?) as I may have hoped it to be. 

Though this also maybe because I've been at a loss for finding a
hobby since I've returned to the city. I will soon be moving into my
own apartment come september, so I'll be taking advantage of the 
change of setting to start exploring interests that I've had.

In my last year at university, one of the classes that I thought was
a bit of a pain, but ultimately very interesting, was my course in 
engineering ethics. Throughout the semester, my wonderful professor 
(Phillip Hilmer) would often say: "How do we live in light of what 
we consider to be the truth of reality?" And that the answer to this
lies in ethics. This statement has been bouncing around in my mind, 
and in consuming podcasts that mention philosophers I've become a bit
frustrated. It seems that so many people quote the works famous 
philosophers in explaining their own ethics, but how many others have
actually read those works to actually have an opinion, or a 
disagreement with their interpretations? 

So, for the sake of educating myself and establishing my own ethics 
for which to live in what I consider to be the truth of reality, I'm 
going to start reading some of these 'great' works. Of course, I've 
read excerpts in my ethics course so I know more or less what to 
expect. And to have a piece of pen and paper to write notes on :-)
