Fortunately, it's not all the way across the country (like new york to l.a.)... just across a couple of states (makes it a little cheaper... but only just a little). It's actually only a 17 hour drive - which I could do no problem if I had a car.

In fact, if I had car, I'd be gone. I wouldn't have internet for a while, but I'd drive out of here and live in my car for as long as necessary. I'm no stranger to showering in a public bathroom sink.

Considered renting a car and driving my stuff, because I could fit it all in something like Nissan Rogue... but it actually came out to the same price as flying myself and shipping my stuff. shrug

Accommodations whilst I search for an apartment are a big chunk of that budget due to hotel prices... But maybe I can catch a special on that.

I'm not sure if I can really apply for those jobs without being there, but I'll check. I don't have any qualifications, so I have to take entry level work. And there's so much competition, you kinda have to be available yesterday.

If I could just get there... sigh
