Staying
I didn’t, as it happens, leave Canada City to go back to Dullness today. I had *intended* to. But I couldn’t quite make myself.
I might love what I study, but I hate where I live. Leaving is hard. The weather was terrible — there was a 40-car pileup. And I am scared of driving like that. And I’m getting my period which always means that I am utterly miserable for a while. (Luckily I get it every 8 or so weeks only, because I get the world’s worst (P)MS.)
So probably Saturday or Sunday. Unlikely earlier, and unlikely later. It will just depend on weather.
This is why I am fairly convinced I am unwilling to live anywhere just for the privilege of an academic job. Temporarily? I can do it. Permanently? Nosir.
