Yup.
The prospect of staying here in MN is shrinking daily.
I have to move South where it's hot and there's lots of people and I'm 2-days-drive from my best friend. I'll be stuck in the South for at least 3 years.
Unless by some insane miracle I can find a teaching job here in MNÂ? but with the job market as it is now - and me having a masters.... yeah not so promising.
OR
I could win the lottery, buy my parents a beautiful home wherever they want and then travel the world, possibly settling in NZ.
(Note to self: must play to win)
