Back in Utah

I've been back in Utah for about a day and a half now, and I haven't decided how I feel about it. I'm both glad and sad to be back here. So much to deal with.
First concern: I have to find a place to live for the school year. I've decided I'm not going to graduate in the fall, because maybe I can get a few Grad classes in before I graduate. I've decided I'm going to splurge, and if I can find one for a reasonable price, I'm going to get my own place so as to not have another bad Logan roommate experience. Which adds another concern: Will I get a furnished or unfurnished place? And do I really want to furnish an apartment when I'll just be moving in 9 months to who knows where?
Second concern: I have to change my graduation date to Spring of '09 (Yea for the 7 year B.A.!! *rolls eyes*)
Third concern: I have to decide if I want to do racquetball this year. As much as I love playing, it has never done good things for my body.
Fourth concern: If I do end up doing racquetball for one more year, I'll be absent for a month so I can do a GRE study/seminar thing so I can pass it when I take it.
Fifth concern: I'm thinking about taking out extra money in loans because Congress has passed a bill that 4th and above year students can take out an extra $5,000 a semester if they want to. I would have to pay the interest on any extra money I get, and I would have to pay it all back when I graduate. Do I really want to save my sanity, when I will only lose it later?
These are the most prevalent of my concerns, although there are many more. Do I really want to go to Grad School when the cost will not be met in how much I make once I graduate? Is the most recent career choice the one I want to stick with? And so many others. But I'm wasting time worrying when I should be focusing on where I'm going to live.

*when I get the time, I will post some pictures, including the Richard Simmons pictures I promised forever ago.

Glad to hear that you made it back safe and sound. Good luck with the concerns. Lol!

Oh and congrats on getting your own place....I suggest furnished, just because furniture is HARD to move and darn HEAVY!!!

It all depends on how much furniture you want to get and how nice you want it to be. Nicer furniture generally weighs more!

Good luck and happy shopping!
