There is a little battle happening inside my head right now.
Minty: Seattle Seattle Seattle I am so excited and I want to be there right NOW!
Minty, again: But my sister and my friends and my future niecephew and a paying job are all right HERE. Also, there’s Shake Shack. I never want to leave New York. I’m sad! So sad!
Minty: But being a student again will be so much fun! I work so much better on that kind of schedule. And who cares if I’m broke, everything is cheaper out there anyway. Happy!
Minty, again: Student loans. I AM VERY SAD.
Minty: No more going underground for an hour at a time on a beautiful day! Happy yay!
Minty, again: But I’ll have to wait for the bus in the rain. Lame. And I know I already said this, but it’s really the big deal: I’m leaving so many people. My sister is getting pregnant soon and I’m going to be across the damn country for it. Sad, sad, sad and I need to hug everyone at once immediately.
Minty: I give up. I’m going to go listen to Fleet Foxes and drink tea.
[You will note that in no point in this dialogue am I doing a productive thing like, say, studying for the LSATs that I have to take in 10 days. Or, you know, just actually doing work. Blargh.]
