Cold Feet?

[skeedy]

I'm a lot better now. My top choice for school has now become my second choice for personal happiness, and my second choice school is now my top choice for personal happiness. The program may not be perfect, but at least I'll have my sanity at the end of the day and take pride that I moved somewhere new as an adventure. It's all about finding a balance that makes you happy!

It's figuring out WHAT exactly will bring that personal happiness that has ME so crazy/excited/nervous/fill-in-the-blank.

BUT. I love how you said that - nicely worded, Sevi.

I have to say, my feet are toasty warm. I spent over four years in a dead-end job because it paid well and the economy was bad, but I've always wanted to go to grad school. I'm glad I spent the four years enjoying myself (and not saving enough money, whoops!), but now I am bout as ready as you can get to get the heck out of here and start something new! It's a bit of a scary prospect to start over and move somewhere else, but it feels right.

Hope everything works out for you!

yea i'm kinda worried about living in a totally different place and speaking a different language. i don't know if i could ever handle it. all the stuff seem to be a little overwhelming all of a sudden. i even doubt if im ready for this..... so pathetic...

How important is location for everyone? At my age, I'm not so much looking for "my next move," so much as I am, "the place I won't have to move from."

That's a consideration too. I'm choosing between living in a HUGE city and living in a not-so-big city. Seeing as how I'm not really a city person, I need to consider that. But the opportunities that come from living in a big city (especially to a new scientist) are pretty exciting.
