Where to move...

When I move back to the states I have a couple of options. It looks like I wont be moving back to the states when I expected due to a flight allowance issue. However when I go back to the states I really dont want to move back to Arizona because I hate the state and I'm sick of weather similar to the inside of an oven. I know everyone talks about the amount of sunshine Arizona gets and yes that can be nice but if its going to be as hot as Arizona is I can do without it.

So now I've got two maybe three viable other alternatives to Arizona. They are...
Utah
Maryland
and Virginia

Utah
With Utah I have an Aunt who lives there so I could stay with her and not have to worry about rent. Much better weather there plus it snows which has been something I've missed for years.


Maryland
Marylands got University of Maryland-College Park. A good university and its been one I've been interested in for years. I was born in Maryland and lived there till I was nine when I moved to Arizona. Close to D.C. and theres Public Transportation so I really wouldnt need a car much plus I can take a train into D.C. if I want to. Rents a bit pricey for a room and craigslist listings are a bit difficult to navigate for Maryland. I wish they would organize Maryland by counties on craigslist to make it easier to navigate because it is difficult to figure out the rent range for the three counties I am interested in which are Prince Georges County, Anne Arundel County, and Montgomery County. I grew up in Anne Arundel County but I am most interested in Prince Georges County in the College Park area. It would probably be easier if I were to fly into Maryland and get a newspaper with rental listings and then look for roomates.


and finally Virginia...

My Moms from Virginia and her whole family lives there with one exception of an Aunt who lives in North Carolina teaching at DOD schools. I have an Aunt from my Dads side of the family who lives in Virginia as well. So I could probably stay with a relative for a little while while finding a job and whatnot but still its less likely than Utah where my Aunt has physically said that I welcome to come and live with her if I were to move to Utah. Virginias nice but I am not sure if its for me at the moment.

Even if I end up in Arizona I still have to move out of my parents house because they'll still be living in Riyadh so I need to find a job either way to pay for rent and everything. I also want to learn how to ride a motorcycle when I get back to the states because its something I've been wanting to do for a while.


After some thought I have decided to include Colorado and Florida on this list as well. I could probably get a job at a Ski Resort in Colorado though the season doesnt start till November so I would be hanging around in Az for a while which wouldnt be too bad. With Florida I dont know about jobs these days though.

I graduate in 5 days

Well I will probably get my diploma a few days after I graduate since I'm still waiting for the test from the math course I took online to get here but I should still graduate this summer. It looks like I will be taking the second semester of Algebra 2 online as well because my math teacher did not cover what was on the final exam and out of the three seniors that took it the highest grade was a D. I got a 35%. I had a 58 in the class before I took the test and now it went down to a 52 or 53. So I am going to go through past tests to see if there were any mistakes that could raise my grade but I'm not really sure what to look for. So it will most likely be another online class since my math teacher doesnt give a shit about his math classes. Most of us have really low grades in the class and he doesnt give a rats ass about us as long as he gets paid. Him and my principal should be fired because all they do is sit around on their lazy asses and collect their paychecks. One of these days I will get back at my principal for ruining my senior year.
