Baah, what in the world am I going to do this summer? Laura's going to Maui, and I have been requested to go there with her for 2 weeks, which would be sweet as hell, but I really need to find a place to live and work because I want to put away lots of money for when I'm in Paris. However, any place that I'd actually want to live this summer would be far too expensive to do much in the way of saving any money. I shall present some options for what i to be done this summer, and you guys shall vote. Feel free to present more ideas; I'm very open to suggestions.
1. NYC -- I am in love with New York City, and I would love love love to be there all the time. However, it might be the least practical of my options. With the job market as it is, probably even for waitresses and retail workers, finding a decently paying job there might be nigh impossible. Also, housing is nutso there. Of course, I'd want to live on the UWS or in the Village or something, meaning I could get 5 cubic feet to myself for $3,000 a month. Not so good. Then again, I do have friends there, and transportation is cheap.
2. Saratoga Springs -- Practical, but it gets dull here in the summer, especially considering almost none of my friends will be here. Housing would be expensive if it were in a nice place like on Broadway, or I could get a house in the middle of nowhere for cheap. Jobs would be easy to hunt for, too, since I'm already here. I dunno, though, I'd like to do something different than be in 'Toga all summer. And I'd want my car so that I could go to the city on weekends, which would get pricey with gas as it is.
3. Albany, GA -- Oh, god no. True, my housing would be free so I could make mad bank, but no one fun is there, it's hot as fuck, and it's motherfucking Albany, GA. No, ma'am.
4. St. George Island, FL -- Only slightly better than Albany. I'd have a free place to stay, and I would be at the beach, but it is dull and hot there, too. Money would be easy to make, but I'd end up working at a bar & grill. I am not a fan of food service.
5. Maui -- Why not just stay there all summer? It would be different, and I could work in a resort or something, but I have a feeling trying to find a furnished apartment there would be as expensive as living in NYC.
6. Some other big city that is not as impossible or as fun as NYC -- I could be adventurous and go to Chicago, Boston, San Fran, something like that. Same problems with money and employment as NYC, though, and I don't know anyone else living in any other cities. I can make friends, though.
7. Provincetown, Mass or Brooking, Or -- I dunno, I did a random search-and-zoom on google, and that's what I found. I kind of want to do the "throw darts at the map" thing, but I know I'd end up in Nebraska or something like that. Midwest is not for me, kids! I am a costal girl!
Balls! I just want to make some money and have an interesting summer!
