I got my paperwork back from MCC yesterday. I'm in their system now, so I can start taking classes come January. Still have to take care of things like transfer credits and placement tests. But I have a little bit of time to deal with that.

I've been...debating a bit lately. I know that I need to go back to school. That's a given. But I'm also trying to move next summer. Hmmm... by the way, to anyone that didn't know... I'm looking to move out of state next summer. Michigan holds very little to actually keep me here now. I've got one family member that I actually see on more then a semiannual basis. The job market here sucks. The vast majority of friends I talk to either live in another state already or are leaving for grad school/getting jobs/etc. very soon. The few friends I do have in the area, well, I'm sorry but that isn't enough to keep me here.

I'm still working on where I'm moving to though. Indiana is a possibility because I have a surprisingly large-ish and growing pool of friends there. (Might have something to do with most of my online friends living there.) Seattle is also a possibility. I'd love to live there. And would probably do it in a heartbeat, if it wasn't for the insanely high cost of living and the fact that I've got no ties there until Lindsay moves back to the area. Plus, I like being able to visit friends without having to buy a plane ticket...

But aaaanyway. I'm looking to move. And my mind is kinda going "hmmmm..." If you're trying to move next summer, you'll only get one semester in at MCC before you move out of state and go somewhere else. And since you're planning on continuing to work full time, you're only looking at a couple of credits. Is it really worth trying to cram some classes into your schedule, while sacrificing potential hours at work, just to get a class or two out of the way. A class or two that I'd have to pick very carefully to make sure they'd even transfer.

Hmmm. Decisions. Because I know that I need to go back to school. And I've finally got some momentum going. But it almost seems silly to take a semester there when I'd just up and switch again. Of course, there's always the chance that I'll put off moving for the following summer. In which case it'd be more then worth it to start now. Since I could potentially have my associates in that time.

Gah. I hate over thinking things. I can solve that though... I'm going to work now. Talk about an antithesis.
