I’ve been wanting to move to the PNW since I was 20…now i’m almost 25 and still stuck in lame ass tri-state area. i know it doesnt really matter where you live if everything is wrong, but everything is right for me right now.

she said if i continue to take 1 class per semester and work, stay on medications and continue to do great, she would help me move to washington state when I turn 27.

this is great news. i want to transfer to evergreen state and major in zoology to fulfill my dream of becoming an animal naturalist.

it gives me more hope to live and stay away from drugs as if i didn’t have enough!

i would be a full time student when this happens (i already have 70 credits that i obtained before and after i became ill)…

i still worry about cognitive deficit in school but hopefully 1 class per semester and staying away from drugs will help me get back in the swing of things.

i feel i have trouble concentrating on school commuting but if i was a full time student not working i would be able to put 100% towards school, especially towards something i’m interesting in. psychology is kicking me in the ass, but i’m gonna pass. i’m very happy for this step towards wellness being a schizo-affective diagnosee, I am very functional considering i have a psychotic illness. i respond to medication very well. if im off my meds i go NUTS, but on them i am not too bad.

i currently volunteer at a nature center and am doing job training at a farm so these valuable internships will only prepare me for a career as an animal naturalist.

well i can talk all day but im so excited now i will stop and enjoy this indian food i got from stew leonards. peace!

California has better weather. The cost of living is outrageous though.

Congratulations… having a plan always helps. Good luck and I hope you make it.

Do you have an area you’d like to specialize in?

I was born here in Seattle… I’m pretty happy to be here. We have a lot of resources if you ever need help.

:smiley: We have lots of Salmon… it does seem pretty cheep. If you like Salmon sushi… salmon burgers… salmon spread… this is the place…

but please… if you do come… don’t complain about our constant rain. A lot of us love our rain. You might really want to look at that part too… people love it here… but I have seen people seriously struggle with our lack of sun.

S.A.D. lamps are sold up here… there are public service announcements about taking vitamin D. We have a serious lack of light.

Thanks man! Im seriously thinking about Seattle , I spent 5 years as a tadpole in Ketchikan AK. Where it constantly rains and I love the rain.

Actually housekeeper at a hotel just to pay the bills is what im prolly going to do, hospitality is one field that is growing everytime I check other city’s craigslist for jobs I always see some housekeeper jobs.

Thats cool man im kinda in the same situation, my ma rented the apartment that im in and payed a years lease then a few days after she signed the lease she had a friend ask her to take care of her mother as a Elderly care giver for $40 an hour so she left and told me I can stay here so for the next 6 months im getting a free place.

Im going to work and save all the money then move to either Seattle or Denver.
