watch me as i hit the ground...

I've decided to move. NO not today, and NO not tomorrow, and NO I am NOT talking about my move to my new place this summer.

When I graduate (hopefully with a nursing degree, damn you ILC! MARK MY SHIT!), I'll be 23 boardering on 24.  That means, for anyone who cares, I would have spent the last 12 years of my life (with the exception of a few

NY would be so cool! and it's not even that far, considering. singapore's a pretty awesome place to, definitely check that out hehe.

[thecariefariee]

checked out singapore in the late 80s yo! did you know that pat was born there? ya, pretty cool indeed!

[x__o]

wow really?! that's crazy cool! my mom was born there...and i've been around a couple times, it's nice!

[thecariefariee]

sweet deal! but I think it's more of a "visit" place rather than a "live forever" place...

dude fuck alberta, GO TO BC. It is beautiful in Van. Or Victoria, if you like working with old people there are a DAMN LOT there hehe. AND, no disgusting cold weather. yay!

[thecariefariee]

I do not like working with old people. NO MORE retirement homes for me! BC eh... well in 4 years if they have a Goodlife then maybe, and my big is going to BC for the summer so she can tell me more!

[bluefishie]

ehhh...choosing where to move based on goodlife? they have good gyms most everywhere.

[thecariefariee]

dude, CPT = certified personal trainer (in reference to last long ass post) although I looked at the Y and I'm liking the Group Fitness Instructor program... and Id SO love to work at Goodlife and teach Step/Combat/Flow/New Body/Pump and get PAID to work out! I dont wanna be a fat nurse, so what better way to stay in shape?!

I would say TO/NYC/London are too expensive to live in. I'd say Vancouver. Or Washington, but my impression of DC was that there were goddamn pillars on everything, which got kind of annoying. Mind you, I was just there for the band trip, and I remember it being a beautiful city other than that. Washington or Vancouver. And since I'm a patriotic Canadian, I'd vote Vancouver, though money might be better in DC.

[thecariefariee]

Vancouver eh? Lot's of people are saying BC...

[eerin]

Mountains = gorgeous.

[thecariefariee]

Yah, but I aint no GOAT... What about the CITY and stuff?

Stranger Alert!!!

[screwballu]

hope you dont mind a strangers opinion. I'd pick DC. but the Virginia side, not maryland. compared to virginia, maryland is a dump. if you think the houses on the maryland side are huge, they're even bigger on the virginia side. but what fun is it moving back to a place you've already been. if i had a nursing degree i would spend a couple years in some random 3rd world country, but i'm all talk so that would never happen.

Re: Stranger Alert!!!

DC was gorgeous so no worries!

My thoughts and picks

[briangoff]

I'm in a similar train of thought too, as you know. I'm never living in Newfoundland again, Toronto is good but not comfortable, Kingston is lovely but small, New York is intimidating but alluring and Canada's west coast is somewhere I want to explore at some point. (I'm very curious about Vancouver, having lived on the east coast much of my life)

My suggestions:

-Visit Newfoundland
-Determine if TO/NY is best or even necessary for your career
-Determine whether you want to live in a city, the country, or in between
-Sleep on it

I know I won't be in Newfoundland. Somehow I doubt I'll remain in Kingston, but whether or not I make that huge leap to somewhere like New York remains to be seen. It depends on work, really. If some company offers me a job there--I'm gone. But to dive into a city that size and try freelancing? Well, I don't know. And the significant other, whomever she may be at whichever point or length of time, will obviously play some part.

Sleep on it.
