  1. hahah.... we'll see what june brings
  2. working and getting ready to move is crimping my time here as well
  3. has tons to do, not much time to do it in.

  4. I'm doing a size/benefit analysis. Focusing on the largest sizes and moving downward. Sofas - One is 10yrs old and a little beat up and was a gift. The other is 20yrs old and cost me $8 used. Buh-bye. TV-Old fashioned Analog 27"er with picture tube issues. Also a goner. Where it gets more difficult are things like the entertainment center armoire. It's ungodly heavy and not designed for the new flatscreen models. But it cost me $800 and can be turned into a traditional armoire and will hold my entire wardrobe. So I'll try to sell it but if it doesnt sell, Im keeping it. And so on, working my way down in size. My target is to fill up a 16 footer truck. Having wardrobes & stuff from two girls prevent me from doing the wholesale selling of things and re-buying. Plus there is no way I would recover enough to replace.
  5. I think you are correct for giving Wagner serious consideration. I turned down an offer to attend Wagner for a state school largely for financial reasons. But if I were in your position, NYU seems more appealing than Rutgers.
  6. loose tooth (both kids are sporting one now)
  7. Okay I'm just entering an MPP program but otherwise I have some thoughts of my own 1- Eight years of direct public policy work at the local government level, four years additional in unrelated jobs in the energy and education sector. I've also worked as a campaign strategist, asst campaign manager before. 2- Cant answer this yet but course work indicates I will get new skills 3- This is easy to answer. All opportunities to advance require a masters. I have no debt now and figured I could reasonable swing up to 40K in debt. I'm hoping not to have that much. It was pretty much now or never 4- The average age of my program is 33 with just over half attending PT with a FT job. Yet there are plenty of FT students in between jobs. Yes you have some recent UG grads but there is a decent amount of distance from UG work for most students. Exec MPP I have heard are a waste of money unless your current employer pays and you benefit. 5- I'm split between pursuing the Policy end of things or the administration end. Most colleges make you take a core set of courses before specifying. I plan on making this decision after a full semester and depending where internship/job opportunities wind up. I know more of my work history has been policy driven and should find myself gravitated to working at the political level, the MPP is where I will wind up. Otherwise Im going to go for strictly administration as that is where my skill set is lacking.
  8. Budget renta truck was having a deal. Got 16 footer for $1300 so I will be driving from CA to NYC in July. Don't use Pods. I thought about them but their customer reviews were overwhelmingly negative (More than 10-1) and they had trouble coughing up an estimate. Great concept but poorly executed. Moving company wanted to charge me 4-6K. Cheap=do it yourself
