Moving
17 years ago
I think I'm ready to take the leap again.
I want to move to Atlanta this time, and be with the amazing people who have changed my life so much over the last few months and made me a much better person...
I've started putting away money for myself for the move, and the next time I go down to Atlanta (which will most likely be February), I'm going to talk to the managers of a few local Starbucks to see if any of them will be able to take me on, full-time, at the start of June of this year. I may look into working morning shifts with Starbucks and getting an afternoon/evening part-time job elsewhere, if I need it.
But I need to take care of some things before I do any of this.
-I need to organize my belongings, throw things out, and figure out what I'm going to keep, what I'm going to leave at home, and what I'm going to take with me.
-I need to make sure I'll have a job when I get to Atlanta, and that I can get a proper transfer from my store.
-I need to make sure that Kohta's situation is stable by then. I promised I'd look out for you, hon. =3
-I need to put away at least $1000 before the move
-I need to figure out how I'm getting my belongings to Atlanta
-I need to talk to my dad about it
Right now, I'm only going to commit to a year in Atlanta (the length of the lease, I would assume) so that dad doesn't freak out about the idea of me leaving the house. It'll be a year's experience of living and working in a new place, with new people, making new friends. I think the experience will be good for me.
As it is, I need to talk to partner services about the fact that I never got my 6-month raise... It's only 50 cents an hour, but seeing how I'm coming up on my year, now, which is another 50 cents an hour, I'd say Starbucks owes me some money.
I'll admit that I'm scared. The idea of leaving everything and pretty much everyone I know terrifies me. I worry about my dad... I know my sister can handle herself, she's always been very independent and strong-willed; I've often envied her for it. I feel selfish, and yet justified, in wanting to move, to be in another place for a while. I've lived here my whole life... I need to make some changes.
Thoughts, ideas, opinions, support, smacks upside the head?

And 50 cents is more than it sounds like. Go kick some Star-butt. (Gods I'm a dork)
