I have a plan!

No.  This is not my plan.

Whenever I tell people I'm only in Hawaii for a year (5 months, 11 days left!) they often ask where I'm going afterwards.  I usually say, "a PhD program (hopefully)," but here's the thing:  I'm leaving Hawaii in the middle of June, and school doesn't start until late August.  What am I doing in the meantime? 

I'm going back to Boston!!!

This was always a possibility floating around in my mind, but now I've officially decided to do it.  Here's why:

1. Lots of people just move to Boston for a couple of months because it's that awesome.  I could be one of those people.
2. My Massachusetts Learner's Permit is still valid for another year.  With hope (and probably luck, and also Ryan Davis' car) I will learn to drive and get a license.
3. I still have stuff there.  Like a desk that my Townie replacement is currently using that I want back when I have a more permanent place to be.  If I get a driver's license, I can load that stuff up in a van and drive it to wherever I end up going to grad school (unless I end up going to BU, in which case I will drive it down the road somewhere).

I'm really glad to have a plan.  And I'm really glad that plan involves (at least) one more summer in Boston.
