Choices

So I'm hoping you all can weigh in a bit on a problem I'm facing.

Next Monday - the 26th - we choose our sites for Rotations. We will be in these areas for nine months, moving between six different pharmacy practice settings.

Until recently, this wasn't even a decision that I felt needed deciding - it was already practically a done deal that I wanted to go to Loma Linda. But recently, my friends have been trying to sway me to Sacramento.

Here's a bit about each region for you non-California people. :)

Loma Linda
- Smack in the middle of southern California and eight hours away, this regions represents my first true chance to get away from the area I live now. I have several old friends who live down here, as well as the chance at very affordable housing if I live with some friends of my Mom (who went to college down there).
- Also, I like that there's a large Adventist population. And it doesn't hurt that I'd be really close to Disneyland.
- But in a bit way I'm scared to death of being so far away from everything.

Sacramento
- This region is only about an hour's drive north from where I live, and although I wouldn't really be that far away it would still be a very different experience. Housing becomes trickier in this situation, though - I don't know where I would live.
- It would be nice to still be able to come home if I really wanted to. I'm not sure how homesick I might get. Heh.
- Also, the friends I've made in this program are mostly wanting to go there. And they want me to come with them. This is kind of a new concept for me.

I'm very undecided about this still, and probably won't really decide until I pick on Monday. But I would value some outside opinions.

Oh man, Baltor looks so bad in the video. It doesn't help that Icy has some sort of liver condition where her skin is yellow. Jandis, isn't it?

Oooohh, okay. I still vote for Sacremento.
