My dad is doing so much better, though still weak and tired and barely starting his recuperation, but it was wonderful being able to see him. And I hope that his recuperation will quicken now that he was able to see me. His work his amazing - they made him a "Get well shirt!" that they all signed and wrote silly messages on, and on of his coworkers was the one that picked me up and dropped me back at school! Great, isn't it? I want to find a workplace like that one day...
Speaking of which, I have decided (sort of) where I would like to end up eventually: New York City, Los Angeles, or Seattle. I'm leaning more towards Seattle. New York would be a great place to pursue my writing/publishing career, as would Seattle, I think. I need to do more research. New York isn't entirely the most expensive place, according to the one site I looked at, which was surprising. Seattle was actually pretty expensive for certain things, but as it turns out, for renting an apartment in heart of the city, which is what I'd want to do I'm sure, NYC is by far the most expensive, LA is in the middle, and Seattle is the least expensive. A one bedroom apartment in the city is only $1,400 a month apparently! I could so do that...maybe LOL Anyway, that's so far ahead into the future...
I've also decided, most likely decided, that I don't want to go to Grad School anymore. It would be totally worthless for me. I have a job now, so my confidence in getting a writing job has heightened. Besides, for writers, your GPA doesn't matter - it's all about your portfolio. Your works of written art. Don't tell my parents - they don't know I'm thinking of just sticking with my Bachelor's Degree, hitching up my bags, and moving to a big city. YOLO....not really. I hope I have the courage to accomplish it all.
~Cheers!
