The NEW plans for the furture

Remember those plans for the future I told you about a few weeks ago? Well, those has kind of been placed on the back-burner for now.

Claudio, my husband, got accepted into Brigham Young University! For the summer, at least. So instead of chilling in Hawaii for the summer as he takes more classes, we're headed out to The Beautiful and oh-so diverse Provo, Utah on April 15th!

As I've been attempting to find a full-time job, I've realized my International Cultural Studies major is almost pointless without a Masters degree (Which you will remember I plan on receiving!). If companies aren't requiring a bachelor's degree, they pay $9.00/hr. If they do, it is obviously in computer science or business. Why did I follow my interests and want a degree I liked, again? Don't ask me, because I obviously don't know. Nonetheless, I've applied to about 50 positions in and around Provo Utah, and hopefully I can find a job somewhere. Maybe I'm lacking humility, but I won't let myself go door to door selling pest control, alarms, or even working at a call center. You don't get any experience, and how miserable could that be? Maybe I'm just being prideful.

The main reason Claudio is transferring to BYU is because he loves economics. BYUH had an economics minor for some time, but recently decided to stop offering the classes needed for the minor. Nice move, guys. He is studying finance, but he really wants to study economics. So, here we come Provo!

When September comes, we're not sure where we'll be. We may be able to find a loop hole and have him stay for Fall semester, we may stay working, we may go to the University of Utah, or one of the graduate schools I love may let me in and we'll be able to go. For now, I think the only two that may postpone Claudio's school would be Southern Methodist University or University of Konstanz. Wish me luck, I'm supposed to hear about SMU before this Wednesday!

We're busy selling our things in Hawaii (yeah, you try shipping everything you own..) and slowly organizing, whilst we also prepare for the end of the semester. Although moving is hard, and Hawaii is "awesome" we won't miss: being stuck in the middle of nowhere, random monsoons, flooding, sunny days filled with homework, ridiculously expensive rent with $7.75/hr pay, or the general lack of focus that the Hawaiian lifestyle gives you. We will, however, miss our friends and the rare occasion we can go to the beach. We'll miss wearing flip flops every day, and that sunny weather.

Thanks for reading!
