Not boring. You are just starting. Enjoy every road you drive on.

That's impossible in PA. We have the worst roads in the country. I don't even try to avoid potholes anymore, it's not worth the effort.

But in all seriousness I realize my journey is just beginning and by the fall I will most likely add another state to the list.

Wait... I thought it was a done deal that you were going to Miami (OH)...?

It was a done deal until they didn't give me a dime of financial aid. So now Syracuse is in the mix and though much more expensive, I also received a decent amount of aid. And Pitt is still in the running too. Deadline to commit is May 1, so I don't have much time to decide.

Oh wow, what a bummer. You're still looking at 2 good schools, though, so I doubt you can make a "wrong" decision. Have you visited both? Are you leaning towards one?

I have visited both and I would say I'm leaning towards Syracuse.

FWIW, Oxford is full of incredibly attractive young women. I used to go down there quite a bit when I'd be home from Duke to visit friends.

Oh believe me I know, I've been there 3 or 4 times. Unfortunately its probably not going to work out.

We military brats, especially, have a tendency to live places multiple times. ;)

True dat!

Oh yeah! One of the reasons I avoided military service was that I didn't think I would enjoy moving so often. As a child, I didn't appreciate the moving around so frequently. After graduating from high school in 95, I've lived in 3 states, 10 cities, 15 homes. I'm really glad that I opted out of service to avoid all that moving around.

Ah, but were you dazed AND cofused? ;)

On a related note, I've been living in a state of grace for quite a while now.

Hmmm... How long qualifies as "living in?" I am assuming that a summer is good enough - i.e. anything more than a regular vacation?

If so, then:

Florida (birth - age 2 or 3)
Michigan (age 2 or 3 to 17)
Indiana (Purdue - summer after 8th grade)
New York (Cornell - summer after 11th grade)
North Carolina (age 17 - 23; undergrad at Duke, grad School at UNC)
Georgia (age 23 - present)

I lived in Ithaca too. Small world! Though I was there for 4 years.
