Temperature was a pleasant 77 degrees and sunny on Thursday. Wore my flip-flops, left the coat at home, threw the winter gear in the corner of my room. “Ah,” I thought to myself, “spring is finally here. Life is good.”
And then Thursday it started pouring rain, continued all day Friday, and even SNOWED.
W…T…F?
To top it off, ALL I CAN THINK ABOUT IS SURFING.
I’m so bored with this city. Everyday I mentally calculate how much of my stuff I could fit in my car, and how long it would take me to drive to California.











From boris:
how long would it take you?
From Lindsay:
Mapquest says it would take one day and 14 minutes of straight driving, but I would stop along the way to visit friends and family and see the sights, so it would take me a few days longer.
From Angela:
Do you think you would actually move back to CA anytime soon or is more like just a dream?
From Lindsay:
A dream…a cruel, cruel dream.
I will probably stay here for another year, and then get the hell outta Dodge.
Back to California, hopefully, but Houston is also a possibility.
From Angela:
Do you feel like you will have better luck with the job search this time around in CA?
From Lindsay:
Honestly, I did not try too hard to stay in CA after I returned from LSE (repeatedly banging my head against the wall ever since). Most of the jobs I applied for were in DC…it was just easier that way, knowing the city, having most of my college friends here, etc (having lived here yourself, you’d probably agree with that). So, no idea what a job search would be like for CA…haven’t really thought about it, as all I can think about is the beach…lol
From CIncysundevil:
You sound like me. Every night I subtly go through the want ads and state/city jobs in Albuquerque. It may only be a matter of time ’til the lure of the Rocky’s ensnare me.
From Lindsay:
Cincy, how about I pick you up when I head back west?
From Angela:
Yes Lindsay, I can definitely relate with your feelings about the “ease” of living in DC. Despite all the negative aspects of DC life, I would still consider trying to get stationed in DC if I make my way into the Army. Fort McNair is nice.
