My friend now at UW several months ago was caught between a dilemma of living in Boston or Seattle. One of the major factors (besides the academic potential of the programs) was Will I find love?
A romantic sentiment, of course.
Yesterday was another moment when I seriously considered living somewhere else besides the Bay Area. Namely, New York City. I last visited last spring break. Did a lot of touristy stuff (partially against my will) and still did a lot of electic things. Yet the city didn\’t capture my attention the way Boston did. NYC reminded me of the constant bustle of San Francisco minus California weather and the laidback attitude. Yet, I liked the fact that something was always happening. That I could walk downstairs, find a cafe, people-watch, all within 5-10 minutes of walking.
We\’ll see. I often shy away from unfamiliarity, but so what? I should never ignore a great opportunity.
And as they say, if I don\’t like it, I can always move back.
\”I feel it in my fingers, I feel it in my toes
Well, love is all around me, and so the feeling grows
It\’s written on the wind, it\’s everywhere I go…\”
XD
Manhatten is 10X more fun, but will you find HCI work there more readily than in the Bay Area? Doubtful.
I take it you\’ve gotten used to the cold weather of the north east?
i speak way too soon about things, but considering NYC, maybe i\’ll like it!
