onward and eastward

Two years and three weeks after moving out here to the lovely city of Seattle, I will be moving back east to the land of small states and big cities. I will be arriving in red sox country in early August in order to begin two years of grad school. Masters in Social Work, here I come! I'm pretty excited to be back in the land of Dunkin Donuts, although it is going to be kind of weird to not have a coffee shop or 12 on every block. And I will definitely miss the view... No commute will ever be the same after my drive over 520 with the Cascades in front of me and Mount Rainier to my right. And then of course the Olympics in front of me on the drive home. I will miss the mountains. I wonder if I'll keep moving every two years or so. I mean it's not necessarily my plan, but it could be. Will I want to stay in Boston after my two year program? Hard to say at this point. I'm psyching myself up to get extremely in debt in order to be qualified for a low-paying white collar job. It's funny actually given that I can say in all seriousness that one of my reasons for going back to school is to make more money. Being a social worker for the money. Ha.
