State of the Union

So. Facts re: emigration to NYC:

  • I'm young, I'm fairly presentable, I'm adaptable, I'm bilingual, I have a European high school diploma. I have a good chance of finding a decent job.
  • It is quite possibly cheaper to have my stuff shipped over there, so I don't have to worry about buying furniture. (Will, however, need new tv and video. But that's okay.)
  • While living inside the city is expensive, the suburbs are supposedly not that expensive. It's not like I've not been commuting all my life anyway.
  • If worst comes to worst, there are a number of people in/near NYC I could crash with.
  • I will need to contact the US embassy this week to find out how soon I would be able to get a visa.
  • I will need to cut down on all expenses and save money. Lots.
  • I am quite possibly insane. AUGUST?

You know, the job market is plentiful in Nashville (with fields you should find work easily in, considering you have experience and are willing to work full-time year-round), and it's much cheaper to live here, if you're willing to "start out" elsewhere ...

:D

no!

NO! She should come to NY!

All I'm sayin' is that it's a bit of a pain. TOTALLY worth it, though.

Don't you steal her away!

*grin*

I wouldn't wish Nashville on someone for the long-term, anyway. :)

Well, no offense to Tenessee, hun, but I need the sea relatively nearby in order to be able to live somewhere. The sheer size of the damn country scares me enough as it is. I wanna be near the exit, y'know? ;D

Oh, yeah. I know all about that ... (if NYC doesn't work out, try Boston).

The exit! LOL! :D
