So I planned the first half of my trip to Chicago.
Wooohoo.
My mom is paying for my ticket. She's backing me 110% to make this decision and go for it. Thank God. Now...what is scary, is my mom doesn't think my grandfather will back me on this decision. Which sucks, because I could really use some extra money while I'm up there in Chicago, for the hotel and food and stuff. But I'm doing my best to network with people and find some cheap places to stay. But as you can see, the trip is only a few weeks away.
Maybe I'll scour Craigslist for some last minute money making chances so I can just use that money for the trip and not the money I have budgeted for my expenses here in Atlanta, like rent....bills....gross.
All of this is extremely impulsive. I know. But fuck it. I'm doing what I want for once. If I'm not impulsive, I'll fall victim to feeling guilty for leaving.
So now it's back to finding a hotel and getting a good idea on where I want to live.
I probably won't visit again until January or February, in which it'll be a longer visit to possibly sign a lease and maybe interview for jobs and look at whatever schools I may be attending in the fall. This is exciting and nerve wracking but also, I'm excited.
Just sucks I'm going to have to really buckle down and reduce my budget even more for the sake of saving money.
Maybe I can find more art opportunities...even if it's only for $80...$80 is $80 closer to $2000.
Wooohoo.

lol I am currently reading 3 books, I go to the gym 4 days a week, I moved from my hometown to SF, I grab drinks and food with my friends all the time. I work 10 hour days and 6 days a week, I try so much to avoid it but I still get swarmed with the poopy people. I know good people exist and no one remembers as much as the crap ones. I am a scorpio so that is a fault.
