Summer plans

Once again, it's that time of the year where I need to figure my shit out for the summer.

What to do?
The main decision is between staying in China and going back to the US...
In the US, I could:
Take a low paying menial job in Santa Barbara for the sake of being able to be in Santa Barbara?
Take a low paying internship in SF, for the sake of being in SF and gaining meaningful work experience?

In China, I could:
First, travel to various places in May before the commencement of summer tourist season?
Second, stay in Beijing and do research for my senior project, and accept ridiculous summer heat. OR
Stay in China, but visit my family in 瓦房店, and help out at my cousin's bakery or learn how to crochet from my aunt?
Lastly, visit Japan in for 3 weeks in August for a course on Global Sustainability?

Help me decide!

  1. here are some more questions to ask yourself:

    what do you want to do the most?
    what is most important to you?
    what will help you the most short term? long-term?
    will your old friends from SB be there?
    is the weather a factor for you?
    what about where your parents will be?

  2. I'm likely to be in the SF area, so we could live together :)

    Or you could work with my mom and I could come visit both of you... or you could come visit me... :D
