One More Week…
Posted in Life on Sunday, January 7, 2007
This week will be my last working at UT, so I’m liquidating some of my investments in preparation for the big move. I have really enjoyed my time here in Austin and have no regrets about coming here. Back in high school when I got accepted to Carnegie Mellon, I was unsure whether I would regret not going to one of the best “tech” schools in the country, but there’s no way I would have been able to accomplish what I have in Austin there in Pittsburgh. Except for the first year I was able to pay for college entirely myself without the use of debt, thanks to my employer’s generosity. I have met many incredible and amazing people professionally, academically, and personally, and hope these relationships continue in the future. My coworkers even planned a night out for my last day of work Friday, so we should have a pretty good going away party.
I’m starting to realize how unsure of what I want in life and how ambiguous my plans are for my immediate future. Only one thing is for sure right now — *life is about to get much more interesting*. Right now I’m going to plan for moving to Utah where I know I’ll enjoy the outdoor culture, the opportunity to try many different things, and to discover what truly makes me happy. My interview with meebo for last week was delayed but will take place this Wednesday. I really think it’s a great opportunity, but I don’t feel like the San Francisco Bay area is where I want to be at this point in my life. However, I have never even visited anywhere in California, so I’m definitely going to give it a chance and we’ll see if a visit is in order after this next interview. What it’s ultimately going to come down to is how well I mesh with the team and enjoy the work.
So right now I’m looking for a place to live. I’m looking to rent a room with some roommates ideally in the Park City, Midway, or Heber areas. There have been some good leads on Craigslist, but I haven’t called any yet, so this week I’ll need to call around and see what’s available. I want to be close to the ski resorts, and season passes in Park City are much more reasonable than the resorts in Big and Little Cottonwood Canyons. I also found “a place with great deals on ski equipment”:http://www.skitrucks.com in Salt Lake City that I’ll have to check out to get my first set of skis, boots, and poles on the cheap. This week I need to pack and decide what exactly I’m going to take with me. Since I don’t know where I’ll be staying permanently, I’m going to pack fairly lightly so I can remain mobile until I know exactly where I’m going to settle.
