Lately I've really been thinking about moving back to Philadelphia. The two main reasons being, most of my friends are there and more than likely could've had a job by now. Granted, most of my friends are still there because they're still in school, but every single one of them plans on staying in Philly afterward. Now my friends here...they might as well live in Philly too because that's how often I see them. Pretty much everyday I spend the day with myself and if you know anything about me you know I can't not be around my friends (yea this includes my sister and my cousins, yea yea watev) for too long. I have no chance to be an idiot, and honestly I live for making my friends laugh. At first I thought this was the reason I wanted to move back, so I tried to push it out of my mind, but then I started to realize that wasn't the only issue. By now you guys know how I'm feeling about this job search. This week I've been feeling better but I'm still kind of irritated. I'm pretty sure that if I was in Philly I could have been working by now. Each time I've gone to visit my old job all the coaches ask me about my job search, and then ask have I thought about coming back to Philly because they know of jobs they could hook me up with. So what's holding me back? Well for one, my dad. My uncle has brought up me going back to Philly a few times, and every time my dad shuts it down. His thing is he doesn't like the area and he doesn't want to "split up the family", especially with my sister being in school. As far as the area, yea I hate it too. But I have a car now so as long as I can bring it with me I can live in a nice area (which we be kinda far from everyone) and easily commute. Now as far as the family issue, I'm not with them everyday anyway and I really don't think he realizes how much I'm actually by myself. The other thing holding me back is grad school. This isn't as much of an issue as my dad though. As of now, I plan on going to either Hofstra or St. John's for grad. This lawyer I worked for over winter break teaches at St. John's so he's really trying to get me in there. He wants me to start in January, but unless I'm taking nonmatriculated classes (which will probably happen) then I'm not going until next September. At the same time though I could always apply to Temple and see if I get in. At least with that, even if I don't have a job by then I know I could get my old job back working in the basketball office. Nevertheless, I'm going to think about it for another month before I bring it up to my parents. I'll probably talk to my uncle about it soon though because he helps my thinking process sometimes. Ultimately though I can't let this bother me for too long.
