Movin' on...
Well, that time has come. As pretty much everyone who reads this blog already knows, I have decided to quit my job with a prestigious internet company and return to school. It's an odd decision for some, but to me it makes a lot of sense, although I do feel like I'm leaving a lot of great relationships behind. Hopefully they'll survive the distance.
The Big Apple is my destination, specifically the upper westside which is home to Columbia. To be completely honest I have no idea whether I'll enjoy life in NYC, but I'd like to try it out and see. My wanderlust has never really left me, and it's just itching to get out. I imagine my life in NYC will consist of a lot of studying and a lot of travelling, now that I don't have to take time off work or get permission from my boss. Plus, NYC is one of those cities that I just have to try on. It's like seeing a really nice jacket in a store, or new guitar, or whatever. You know you'll probably never end up together, but you still have to try it on, or pick it up and strum out a few chords. Otherwise there'd always be that twinge of regret....and I don't do regret anymore.
I have had tons of folks asking for my blog address, which I'll probably give out in a mass email soon. I'm sure that I'll be posting much more in the future as most ppl who read this are out in California, and as some friends have demonstrated, keeping a journal of the travails of going back to school in a new environment can be quite entertaining if done well. I'll do my best.
For the near future though, I'll be trying to tie up all the loose ends here in SF and say goodbye to this fair city. It'll probably keep me quite busy. I really do enjoy SF -- in fact, I'd venture to guess right now that I'll probably end up in either the SF Bay area or in the Washington DC area when all is said and done. SF is just so beautiful at night. Right now I'm looking out over the SF skyline at dusk, in a dark room with a glass of whisky listening to Tom Waits. Definitely a moody and somewhat reflective evening.
