Talked to my parents about it, and a few other people. I’m going to do it. $3k/month, in chicago, rockin’. Now all I need to do is finish up the semester, get a sublessor here, find a sublet there, and make sure someone can take over for me on the web and mailing list stuff for my research group over the summer. Though that may not get as much attention until after finals. Whee!
Besides paying down my debt, I’m going to have to think of ways to suitably reward myself while in chicago. Perhaps a big ‘ol flat screen. And frequent (1-2 times/month, cheap!) plane travel to various parts of the country. North Carolina I already have plans for, so maybe two or three more. SF/Berkeley has to happen some time. Vague Austin plans have been made. I guess that only leaves one more potential trip in there. Hmmm, never been to Portland, Seattle, or Vancouver, but they all sound like good places to check out. It’d also be nice to make it back to Toronto…
Ah well. My summer, coming soon.
I’ll be in Seattle.
Hey, awesome! You can live in fine style on 3K/month…
yay!
you know *I’m* the closest 🙂
fressen beckons…and we’re almost within driving distance! or take the train if you have 12 hours to kill. leaves chicago at 8am and gets in toronto in time for dinner.
