the weather according WKTV: is -16 degrees, feels like -36 degrees. that is UNACCEPTABLE. i tried walking around downtown to starbucks today but then my nose hairs froze and my legs went numb where the jacket didn't cover them, and my face started burning and i thought it would probably be a better idea to go home and make some coffee there.
my mom visited this weekend and mostly we stayed inside and ate and chatted about things. i told her and my dad about my plans to quit my job and travel for a year and basically they said "sounds great, wish we could go with you!" my mom wants to meet up with me in chennai, india, which is a sweet deal because chennai is near the backwaters of kerala, which is supposedly among the most beautiful places on earth. my grandma wants to know why dont i want to go to europe instead of asia.
i am mostly focused on planning my traveling now, but i was thinking about what i want to do after i get back, and where i want to go, and i decided that most likely i'll go work in an intensive care unit for a few years and probably go to grad school for a nurse practitioner license while there. i am horribly picky when it comes to places to live, and i've decided that only a few cities would make me really happy: asheville, washington DC or somewhere in the VA suburbs, denver or boulder, and park city, utah. i'm still pondering places in california. i'd kinda like to stay on the east coast because i've figured out that i don't really like the midwest. too cold, and the accents were cute but now they drive me bananas. i'm starting to talk like one of them!!
