“Just make a list!” everyone tells me when I start whining about how I can’t make a decision. Do you know how many lists I have in my little purse-size notebook? (Are there really that many decisions I have a hard time with…? [And do I really whine that much?])
Okay, so I’ve made a list. I’m trying to figure between Boston and Turkey for the next ten months, before I start grad school. But speaking of grad school: it’s going to take some quantitative computations to make any sense out of this list.
So, if I assign +1 point to minor positives on the list, and -1 point to minor negatives, and +3 points to major positives and -3 points to major negatives (but are they major in that they’re worth three or maybe five?) then what’s my final equation? And how many is “life” worth and how many does “job” merit? <Sigh>
Turkey (+)
- Gain further experience in my work field
- Get to see the dancers again
- Acting & dancing
Turkey (-)
-
Trouble getting anything done there
-
Poor pay
Boston (+)
-
Spend the holidays at home and don’t break my mother’s heart
-
Ability to make more money
-
The familiar: gym, yoga, skim milk & TV
Boston (-)
-
No work in my field –> Nanny work, which I DON’T want to do!
-
Don’t get to see the dancers again
I personally like the number one bullet under “Boston (+)”
I thought you would… xo
