I've been thinking (for a long while now) about moving. As much as I love Vermont, I'm really not a cold weather person. Plus it's going to be time to move on.
I should have my school loans paid off by 2013. And my job at the college only goes until 2012. I've looked at Seattle, Austin, Denver, Atlanta, and San Francisco. And when it comes right down to it, I need somewhere that's warm for most of the year. But I also want a place that is similar to Vermont in the attitude of it's residents.
I have a friend who is from Houston, and after asking about Austin, he has confirmed that Austin is like a "warm Burlington". Perrrrrrrrfect.
So I've been craigslisting jobs and apartments (I won't be moving for a couple of years, but it's a good idea to get an idea for the feel of the city), and DAMN there are some NICE apartments that don't cost nearly what you'd think. I'm used to Burlington where the only kind of apartment you can get for under $700 is a run down hovel that has been inhabited by college students for the past 30 years.
The only downfall to all of that is that the jobs generally pay less as well. Buuuut the University of Texas at Austin has a law program.....PERFECT! And if I can get a job at the University, I can probably take classes a little cheaper. Or, I can go down and just concentrate on college. Smart, eh?
We'll see how this works out. Most of my plans have a tendency of falling through.
