I've given notice at work, which makes my new life direction both finalized and public.

I'm jumping off the cliff, and going back to school. I'll be starting in September at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, in the Masters of Regional Planning program.

I very much want to see people before I leave town. I'll try to arrange social gatherings both spontaneously and in advance. Locals, let me know if you have thoughts on this! I'll have even more free time after August 6th, which is my last day at work.

I'll be moving sometime around September 1st, everyone's favorite moving day. I'm looking for advice about moving truck rentals. Specifically, how is Budget? I have fairly clear impressions of U-Haul and Penske. If any of my Valley or ex-Valley friends have advice about apartment hunting, that would be wonderful as well.

Yes, I'm very excited. I'm also worried about moving, of course, since moving always worries me. But that doesn't take away from how great I think this is going to be.

They hiring to replace you? (Of course, I don't actually know what you do...)

Mazel Tov...it's quite the leap. Good luck!

Hope to make it to some of your socialness...

MIT tends to move at the speed of snails, so I doubt they'll get around to even contemplating whether they're allowed to hire to replace me (in light of the recent bloodbath) until long after I've left. But who knows? If they do, it'll show up on web.mit.edu/jobs

You're attending a LARP school. Huh huh... huh huh...

Seriously, though! Congratulations! How exciting!

I haven't figured out if anyone else in the program giggles at the acronym, too. :)

Mazel tov, sweetie! *hugs!*

What sort of regional planning stuff do you want to do?
