In just over a month, I\’ll be leaving for Pittsburgh, PA to start the next phase of my life at CMU. Sometimes I imagine myself like Holden on top of a hill (perhaps at the Big C), trying to figure out a way to say goodbye to Berkeley. Then run down wildly down the hill, because I felt like it.
There are so many places we leave never knowing that we may never return. It\’s also the same with people, a polite \”see you later\” may just mean…a \”i see you never\”. There will be some people that I will miss seeing and there are those that I wish to never see again. So it goes, right?
After such a long time struggling to figure out my place, I feel like I almost found it this summer. Even though it\’s not everything I wanted, it\’s ok for now.
I got two debit cards (why two?) from the new account I opened in Pittsburgh this week. I also received a bill from CMU for a total of more than $15,000 for the fall. My checking account barely breaks 8k now. :(
Perhaps it is too painful to say goodbye sometimes… so that\’s why we say \”see you later\”… saying goodbye is so FINAL. One never knows when you might meet again… college is expensive, isn\’t it? We\’re thinking about visiting the last week of August.. right before I leave for UMich…. will u still be around? :)
Moving to a new phase of your life is always hard…but I figure that the people you really care about you\’ll see again, so it\’s not as bad. At least you have plenty of time to get yourself ready…I left Berkeley almost overnight. Got confirmation on Thursday that I had to be in LA for work on Monday, and I haven\’t really been back since.
Just start working 40 hour weeks as a TC and you\’ll be able to make lotsa lotsa monies =)
i got the confirmation that I could \”get\” lead TC pay. That\’s 3 dollars more! :D :D :D
Holden? Was the a subtle catcher in the rye reference? BLA. I hated that book. very dumb IMHO. then again – mabye I\’m not smart enough.
the catcher in the rye is my FAVORITEST BOOK in the whole wide world! don\’t talk smack about it, yo!
Both are debit cards? It\’s not one ATM/check card and one credit card?
One way or another, if you want to return somewhere, you\’re going to. At least you\’re in the US…I\’m not even sure which country I\’m going to be sent to
