New York...

New York City, or more specifically, Brooklyn!
This place hold infinite possibilities. Before and after Russia this summer I'm spending a couple of weeks with Ben in Brooklyn. Matt is coming to visit too so it'll be a family affair for awhile.

But what really makes me excited about Brooklyn is the possibility of living there. After I graduate (again) in January I will be without and job and let's face it, not many schools are hiring in the middle of the year. So in less I get super lucky with a long-term sub position I will probably be penniless and jobless. Courses of action available to me are move back to Ohio to live with my aunt or (worse) my parents, couch hop with friends until I annoy them with my mooching, or move in with my brother in Brooklyn and find a job until I can get a teaching placement. Okay now which one would you pick??

Thinking about the possibilities of living in Brooklyn just give me the goose bumps: running in prospect park every morning, yoga in central park, night life, interesting people, working at a bar or book shop, having my brother for a room mate, the art community, sub ways, awesome thrift store shopping, walking everywhere... I mean the list just goes on and on! This is one change that I wouldn't need to much adjusting to get used to!
