So, just how terrifying is it to go somewhere and work post-college?
You did it for a summer, in Chicago. It's like that, only longer. Seriously.

Which is to say -- you got the hang of living on your own, feeding yourself, getting to and from work every day, paying bills, and having a life outside work. When I had my internship in college, it was in Cincy, so I lived at home, had no bills -- all I had to do was get to and from work, which was no big, b/c I had a car.
You'll see -- your internship in Chicago was good for way more than just evaluating what field you might want to work in.
Also, do you fly into Cincy???
Shoot. I can't remember what the quiz is called. Anyone else remember?
Beth, thanks for Matt's email. Hope I don't freak him out by emailing him.
Well, I did warn him that he might be getting some. I have no idea when he will get on line, but I am sure he will.

I did like that summer. That was a great summer.

Nope, direct into Lexington; classes start Thursday, dude. Thursday. The
day after tomorrow.
I am not ready.
But I think I will try to plan some time for Cincy as soon as I can; it's just a question of when I will have money to do so.

It's great! Much, Much, better than being unemployed post-college.
SA - I think it's this site. Find your spot.
I think SA needs to come to SF.
Good on you for the 8 days, Nicole!
I will note that Hec has been putting SF consistently in the ring for the last three years.
He's a pimp that way. I suspect he's got some kind of hellmouth there, only instead of evil, it draws all the Buffistas.

As Gud points out, job-having is good. And Steph is right on the money about the internship. I ended up in Chicago right after college. I didn't know anyone; had lived in a dorm, so had no clue about apartment living. So the things that were a huge struggle for me - support system and independence - should be much less to non-existent for you.
There are lots of Buffista-laden areas for you to go. I'm really excited for you. I think the time after college can be so rich with learning about the Real World and the Real You, that the setting is less important than you think.
Belated Birthday wishes to Anne, and belated congrats to ita.
Beth, I've written to Matt, too. I've been thinking about you guys.
