Excitement!

So this is it! The "big move" away from home, from familiar surroundings and whatever comfort that brings; I have yet to figure it out. Growing up on Long Island only affords an individual a certain amount of opportunity, which I guess is dependent on whom your family is really, and one of those cherished few is to get the hell off the misbegotten fish-shaped island and move elsewhere. Carthage, NY; not quite the city dwelling lifestyle I had hoped for in my earlier days, but my field is chemistry so only so much can be expected. I'll be damn near in Canada, probably only a few hours drive, and surrounded by miles of hills and forest. Could be picturesque. Could be hideously boring.
