Spring training is ON!!

[ZECH]

Well, my exchange year is over in May.. Then I can stay for a month after that before my visa runs out. Then it's back to Sweden.. but just temporarily. Will finish my 2 years on my program to get my Masters.. Justin will finish up his degree next year and then move to Sweden to get his Masters there probably. Then we plan to move to the states after we've taken care of the Visa issue We've got it all figured out

Are you sad about leaving?? When you two do get back, where do you plan on living? Too bad we haven't had a chance to meet being so close!

 

[Jenny]

I am a little sad about leaving and I'm very very sad about being so far away from Justin for so long He'll spend Christmas break in Sweden and I'll fly over to see him as often as I can afford it.
I don't know where we will live, right now we're thinking Tampa bay area or San Fransisco. We'll have to see where we can both get good starting jobs.
Where are you at? I feel like it's South or North Carolina..

 

[Jenny]

Nevermind I just saw Charlotte, NC! We were just there this past weekend when we drove back from Florida!! And the weekend before that when we drove down there!

 

[Eggs]

Florida-Too hot and humid
San Fran-Too many pansies and cost of living is about the highest in the Nation.

Give me the mountains or a pretty beach in NC or SC. I can't decide if I want to retire in the rolling hills with fresh air or at the beach somewhere. Both are nice.
I always thought somewhere around Denver would be nice, near the rockies.
Wyoming and Montana are beautiful, but too cold in the winter.
I'm sure the Gulf coast is pretty, but too humid in summer.
I rule out all big cities.
I live about 52 miles NE of Charlotte.

 

[Jenny]

Yeah, those are all good points.. I just want some heat!! I've lived in Sweden all my life (well except for now) and I would love to live somewhere I don't have to wear more than a sweater in the winter
And we don't want any hicks I wouldn't mind Chicago or Boston, except it's so damn cold there.. I really don't care if there are gay people living in my city or not, but you're right about the high living costs.. Which wouldn't be good for us when we're just getting started.. Hmm, we have a lot to think about.. Thanks for your helo Dg!

 

[naturaltan]

come to Canada

 

[Jenny]

Yeah right I said a sweater for the winter, not the summer

 

[naturaltan]

 

[PreMier]

I like winter.. always able to wear so many nice clothes. Summer, all there is is shorts and shirts

Where did you pics go?

 

[Jenny]

Winter has its ups but also major downs.. I would love to be able to run outside in shorts all year long.. And there are a lot more fun things for girls to wear in the summer

I took my pics down


Uuuuugh.. I have an epidemiology midterm tomorrow Don't wanna I better get on it though At least until Top Model starts

[hikerchick]

Hi JennyJenny!

So glad I popped in here, I didn't know you were back. You just might inspire me to start a new journal of my own.

Everything looks great and it sounds like life is good. Glad to hear it!

What are you taking for classes this term?

 

[Rocco32]

Hey there Jenny. We haven't talked for awhile and I know why, but just wanted to drop in and see how your doing. Looking good in here. Make the most of your time here with Justin before going back to Sweden

I have to stick up for Florida. Its hot and humid on THE ENTIRE EAST COAST all summer whether it be North Carolina, South Carolina, New England, etc etc. For me, having the weather nice the other NINE MONTHS of the year make southern Florida ( Palm Beach and south) for me paradise. And there is such as a thing as air conditioning. Beware though that the western coast ( where Tampa is) does have alot of bugs and insects that are nowhere near as prevalent as on the southeastern coast.

Personally, I 'd be against California. 1. High cost of living. The same size home there costs 2-3 times what you would pay in other parts of the country. You need a car to get anywhere in that state and its gasoline prices are the highest in the country due to taxes and other things....do we hear $3 a gallon sometime soon??? I don't see how ordinary people afford to live there. 2. Deathly tax burden and it is probably going to get worst with the budget crises going on there. 3. Too much "natural disaster" risk ( forest fires, monsoon rains leading to mudslides, earthquakes).
