I've decided to make a quick pros/cons list for waiting another semester. I might add stuff later.
Pros:
- Save a lottttttt more money.
- Enjoy my wonderful job another six months.
- Pay off some of my student loan, which will be huge-ass after studying in the US.
- Maybe get into another school. A better
- Hang out in Oslo a while longer, I am enjoying my life here now.
- Go to TIFF! (The film festival in Tromsø, not Toronto.)
Cons:
- Have to wait another six months to move to New York. (Although I am planning on taking shorter trips there throughout the next semester if I don't move now.)
- Live at home half a year longer.
- Put my life "on hold", sort of. I am living here too, obviously, but my LIFE PLAN for the next three years was to live in NY and now I might not do that yet.
- I'm not 100% sure I'll get to renew my contract at work which ends Dec. 31. I'll have to talk to the bosses.
I don't know what to dooooo. These doubts started a couple of weeks ago and sometimes I think I've made up my mind, but then the next day I'm reconsidering.
We had a christmas party at work yesterday and it was so much fun and my coworkers are awesome and the kids at work are lovely and it's so funnnn and I'll be missing out on the best part if I leave now. The kindergarten opened August 31st this year, I got to join in on the planning a month in advance and getting the routines going after the kids started and we're so not past our "beginners phase". I think next year will be a better year, we'll be more prepared and we know what it's like working there and everyone's more comfortable and we know what the kids are like so it's easier to plan stuff and actually do what we plan and we know what works and what doesn't and and and. I think it would be very fun and good to see a more finished "product" of all our planning before I leave.
HLEP!!!
