Oh, The Possibilities!

I've been thinking about it.

I think I'll go home for a week or so.

My parents are going to be here on Wednesday, the 5th. They will leave on Friday, the 7th. My dad is going to fly to El Paso the following week, and my mom is going to come back to Austin. I think that would amount to 10 days at home. Long enough to be worthwhile, but short enough to where The Kid won't forget me.

Honestly, The Kid is the reason I didn't go home following the end of the semester. He's really attached to me. I really believe that he likes me more than his parents.

Speaking of which, my sis-in-law is pregnant. 2 months along from what I understand.

That's my current motivation. I want my degree and I want out. As soon as possible.

Oh, and about post-graduation plans. My parents are talking about moving to Austin within the next 3 years. Given that I only have 2 friends in the DFW area, I don't see much reason to settle in Dallas once I'm done. At the same time, I hate the weather here in Texas. I would love to move to the border between New York and New Jersey. My sister lives there right now. But, my sister is talking about moving to Sweden within the next 5 years. She works for Siemens, and apparently they have a world office there, or something.

So, this is what I'm looking at.

• I can stay in Austin and live close to most of my family, but I'll suffer during most of the year because of hot weather.
  
• I can live in Dallas, but I'll only know a few people. There's also the chance I will run into people I went to high school with that I don't want to see again. The weather sucks there too.
  
• I can move somewhere up north, but then I'll really be on my own and even further from most of my family.
• I can beg my sister to hook me up with a job in Sweden, where the weather is relatively nice.

At least I have some time to think about it.

Best case scenario? I win the lottery, share it with friends and family, then move to Sapporo, Japan. After settling down, I'll find a cute (or extremely hot) Japanese school girl in her early 20s. I'll send pictures of myself with my middle finger extended to everyone I hate.

Why Sapporo? Incredible weather. Tons of activity. And the Sapporo Beer Museum. Just look at this picture...
