...about starting school again. On the one hand, the 17 credit hours I'm pulling this semester cover all of the prerequisites for the RN program in one fell swoop.
On the other hand, Boe and I are probably (~90% chance) going to have to move in order for him to get work once he gets his teaching license in December.
So things are a little in the air right now, and probably will be for the next 6 months or so, at minimum. Boe really wants us to get to a place where his teaching position will cover all of our bills so I won't have to work while I'm in school. Cuz really, doing 17 credit hours at school AND 25 hours a week at work will probably have me ready to slit my wrists about 9 weeks into the semester.
Like I said, we're probably going to have to move, most likely out of state. We're looking in all 50 states, plus overseas. We have some preferences: we'd both like to avoid the Four Corners states, we like the Midwest, Boe is enamored with the East Coast, we both have family in Florida, I have family in Ohio, Boe has family in Kentucky and Texas. I have put my foot down re: Any place in Chicagoland, the metro LA area, San Francisco, and NYC. OMG property costs are insane in those areas and I really, really dislike HYOOGE metro areas.
Eastern Ohio/Western Pennsylvania would be nice (Y HELO THAR PENNSIC!), but anyplace with a really good SCA and/or Adria group would be lovely. But basically my general attitude towards moving is "whither thou goest" but HOLY CRAP I HATE THE ACTUAL MOVING PROCESS LIEK WHOA. However, it also gives us the opportunity to purge a good deal of stuff that we don't really use or need.
Yeah. That's my headspace today. Fun times, I tell ya!
