Escape from Reno
So we’re entering what should be my last month living in Reno. I’m really excited about moving but this month is going to be a pain. I’m going to be in NY next week looking for an apartment. I’m leaning very heavily towards the financial district. Being in that area and networking with the people would do wonders for advancing my career so that’s why I’m liking that area. That and the places are new and look pretty awesome.
After I come back there’s only three weeks till I move so I’ll be scrambling to get the movers scheduled, get my old apartment cleaned up, all my possessions boxed up, selling what I don’t want to take with me, taking my dog to the vet so he can fly to NY with me, and fit in time to say goodbye to everyone. Just a little stressed, no big deal. That is until you add in the fact I have Level II of the CFA Exam Saturday June 2nd and I’m moving there June 1st. Now I’m going out of my mind. I should be studying for the exam but I’ve been wasting my time watching the NBA playoffs. I’ll write something about that later.
It’s funny; I always wanted to get out of Reno. I’ve been trying to leave since I graduated high school but I chose to stay for one reason or another. It was a little setback but then I kept working towards my degree in finance and I knew that would get me out of Reno since I couldn’t accomplish what I want to do with my life in this little town. I stand on the cusp of finally realizing my goal and I’m a little apprehensive about it. I’m going to miss my family, my friends, and yes even this crazy town. It’s hard to say goodbye.

Yeah, it’s rough to say goodbye to a place you’ve been for so long. But man, once you get out, you feel so much better. When I was back last weekend, I was like, “Man, fuck this place.”
