Brooklyn gal for 5 months!?!
hmmm. I MAY be getting an offer to teach/precept up in Boston. I now know that this is what I want to be doing, professionally. But the job would start in Jan 2006, cutting down my time in NYC to a mere 5 months. There is also the problem of having signed the lease to start this December here in BK for a year. hmmm. I'm afraid that if I turn it down now, I wont get another offer there, at least for several years. I will know more details about the job in mid December, but I think I would have to pretty much have an answer for them pretty close to being ready . . . what to do? right now what they are offering is .4 full time equivalent, which means 2 days a week, but I think they are trying to come up with another day or maybe 2 a week (I'm hoping benefits would be included if its .5+ a week). aghh, what to do? I wanted to live in NYC to experience it and sort of prove to myself I could do it. The thing is, excluding the change of seasons, and ice skating at Bryant Park, and a few other random things, my "to do" list is dwindling. On the other hand, I've always said I dont want to live somewhere just because of the job . . . although this was before I was working full time and discovered how lame a slow job can be. what to do? please feel free to post any thought that might help . . . Of course, it hasnt been offered yet, nor have I met with the department heads, so perhaps I wont have any decision to make!

NEEI...things that make you go "hmmm..." i've only been there once, but I think NYC had a lot more to offer than good old allston. :) but alas, us party loving girls can't base our lives on where the best bars are, but it sure is tempting.
Broadway vs Sommerville Ave?
OK, turns out no job offer! great! all that weighing of issues for nothing. I back to being a BK gal for a year! (maybe more?)
