Drumroll please....

the decision. Minneapolis.

Why?

1-Because it's cheaper. My parents have financially stood by me through Spelman and now grad school. No loans, no scholarships, nothing but their hard earned money have seen me through 5 years of schooling. They've paid all of my bills, car note, rent, utilities, my shopping addiction, anything I wanted or needed and never said "no". I feel I owe them this much, to suck it up for 3 more months, finish strong and cheaper. San Fran will always be there, expensive ass rent and all.

2-Because I already planned on going. Behind Chicago, I applied to go to Carmichael Lynch. To do the same program I did here in London, which for those of you that don't know is in downtown Minneapolis. Though I didn't get in that program, "cut backs". Why rock the boat?

3-Because I doubt I'll be job ready come graduation. It normally takes 3-6 months to prepare a book AFTER graduation. Career wise, San Fran has more agencies, wait I take that back, has more GOOD agencies than Minne. So the need to shop my book around won't come until 3-6 months after I get my piece of paper. There'd be no time at all to shop my book around in the city before the lease in the student housing ends. I figure why not just save that little bit of extra change I would have paid on my last quarter and use it on searching aka traveling for a job when I'm really ready.

4-Because I'd have my own place in Minne. I'd get to concentrate more on my book (Minne's school is smaller and living by myself would give me a stress free, peaceful place to come home to). I love my fellow students, but I get tired of talking, critting, and living advertising, ALL DAY EVERYDAY. My own place would give me the opportunity to unwind with a nice glass of wine, iTunes, and me, myself, and I.

5-Because that 5 hour drive will come in handy. When I get stressed and overloaded with work, a hug always seems to deflate all of that. I've needed one so many times here in London. The close proximity to Iowa is just an additional perk that I feel I'll need as I'm rounding third base and coming into home. "Don't get all geeked though, this ain't no love thing. Me and Darius are just kickin' it" -Nina, you know the movie.

I appreciate all the suggestions. Everyone pretty much said the same feelings I was feeling. I just needed to make sure it was either the devil talkin' or the angel talkin'. If I could, I'd go to San Fran in a heart beat. But, at this point I need to be mature about my decision and go with my brain instead of my heart. Goin' with the flow here guys, back me up....
