R* made the official announcement this morning that she is moving back to New Orleans in June.

My official announcement is... I don't know yet what I'm doing. Well, ultimately I'm moving back there too. But in June? At this point I don't know. I have enough of a good thing going here that I have to really think about things. It is effectively a scholarship covering part-time graduate school at Harvard, and I'm doing well. I have no savings, and leaving a job when I don't have one waiting there for me is a big risk. I've met several people here who have become special to me, especially [livejournal.com profile] cowgrrl, and parting ways would be hard.

OTOH, separation from R* if I stay here when she moves back would be hard, too. There are numerous things I miss about being in New Orleans, and in numerous ways it would be good for my soul to be there.

On the whole though, I have plenty of options and freedom to choose between them. I plan to spend maybe a week there in June and see what the job market is like. If I stay here I intend to travel to New Orleans a couple times a year and poke around to see what jobs there are; I would live cheaply, save up some money, send R* what I can.

If I were to get a well-paid job in New Orleans I can even take the rest of the courses I need for grad school online. Almost the entire IT degree at the Extension School is available online, so leaving here does not necessarily mean I would have to leave school. It just means I'd have to find a way to pay for it.

Maybe I can find a job here where I could telecommute from New Orleans and spend half my time here and half my time there. (Winters there, summers here perhaps? That wouldn't be too shabby.)

R* and I have Plans and even if I stay here for another year or two this would not be a separation.

In a way I'm kind of leaving it up to the cosmos. The way forward will make itself known to me, and I am making myself open for any possibility.
