Big Plans
Life? It's not working. I feel like it's on hold while I finish school. It's taking forever though...

I've made a decision. A SCARY decision.

I'm moving out. I'm moving up to Albany, where I can be close enough to my family that I can come home for a weekend, but not so close that anyone will be coming by without warning.

SUNY Albany does a library program there, that's actually cheaper than the one I'm going to. I already spoke with the dean and she said they can take 12 credits, which is what I had at the end of last semester.

I'm taking the semester off, which is no big deal since I only took classes to get DONE not classes I wanted. I couldn't afford it anyway.

I've started to apply for jobs. I want to move to the Latham/Clifton Park area. I've been to Clifton Park and loved it, but Latham is just as nice and a little cheaper.

600 for a 1 bed room is damn cheep compaired to the average here: 900 for a crapy basement apartment...

I figure a 30k job and I'm golden but I can make do w/ 26-28k.

I'm excited and terrified. I even made a target wish list of everything i could want/need HERE. I know a kitchen table would be good, but I think I could find a cheaper one at a thrift store --same goes for the dresser...

Sounds like a great plan!

Where are you living now? I'm from Dutchess County originally.

It sounds like you're really going after the life that you want to make for yourself, taking big decisions in your hands and conquering them, and I am envious of your courage and drive. I have the feeling that this is going to mean really big, new, good things for you.

I'm cheering you on! :)

Moving out will be scary, but you will be so happy that you did it.

It's ridiculous how expensive school is. I hope that the cheaper one works out for you.

It'll be scary at first. Leaving something that you are used to and comfortable with always is. But, it really does help you grow as a person.

*nods* that's what I'm hoping.
I need this, I know it.
BTW, I'm stalking you on MBs. Not really. I tried XXX but I don't like it much, like BAng though! (got the link from your site)

I like that XXX seems to have more mature people, but Bang is definitely more active. What is your username on them?
