Wei Cho (lunexian) Hi!

I live in Santa Monica, California. Total sunset and surf devotee. (Definitely NOT the cliched beach girl) I will graduate from high school soon and if I get accepted by a university I will move out to Manhattan, New York. This will be a drastic change! From beach to city. It's a bit scary, but I'm ready for it! :D

I couldn't stop laughing after reading this. I was born and raised in Iowa and people always think I grew up on a farm. My response is always, "No not everyone grows up on a farm. We have cities even in the midwest."

message 150: by Amanda (new)

Amanda (dreamocracy) | 23 comments I'm from Churchville, MD but I lived in Baltimore for 4 years and now State College, PA for 2 years. My husband is graduating and has a job lined up, but we don't know where his location would be (It's a consulting company that has clients all over the world. We'll be in the US still, most likely in PA, NJ, DE, VA, or NC). I'm looking forward to the move, even though I like State College, I am way tired of the college students, haha. I will ideally be back in MD sometime where my family (and awesome seafood) is ;) but I'm up for moving just about anywhere at this point in my life. We're young, so this is the time for us to be mobile, if any!
