nothing is as effective as defeat

After several interviews and much enthusiasm I found out yesterday I did not get my dream job at Mass. General Hospital. Hurumph. I told myself if I didn't get the job it was time to leave Boston; I am not completely content here, I don't currently have any job prospects here, and I am young and unattached in all ways. Time for an adventure, I guess.

The job in Maine is still a possibility. When I was in 6th grade I dreamed of living there. Granted instead of a scientist I fancied myself as a writer living in a beautiful, old house with huge bay windows and a sheep dog to keep me company/warm, but dreams can be altered.

So, Maine, will you be my new home?

Or perhaps the Bay Area?
