You know, a funny thought just occured to me.  A long while ago, I used to believe that in the whole question of "Stay vs. Go," the one thing that kept coming up was the idea of regret.  What is more, it was pushing me to stay.  My logic went something like, "I'm having so much fun.  I know that if I stay here I will not regret it at all.  Meanwhile, if I go home and things don't work out for the year, I will be pissed off at myself for the regret and lost time."

Now, though, the more I am looking at the 'big picture' - and let's be honest here, the reason I am going back is BECAUSE of the big picture - I feel like, if I stay now I will have the massively substantial loan which will burden me the rest of my life.  And at some point in those 30 years or so, I will almost certainly regret my decision (probably when I go to finally buy a house).  Now if I go home, there is always the opportunity to return in almost exactly the same position as when I am leaving now, just in 2009.  With that in mind, how can I regret it?  I regret losing the relationships I currently have going, yes, but I regretted losing different ones that I have back home, too.

Just a funny way of how perspective can constantly shift...
