*laugh* That's really funny.

Where is your bff moving to?

He's not sure yet at all. He had a totally different plan until last night when they realized Plan A was never going to work, and that really they just wanted to get to california. They have friends in LA they visited recently and were surprised by loving the city (they honestly thought they'd hate it), and they decided to go for it. Do you live there? Any recs for areas they should check out as far as living?

Yup, I surely do live here. It's a big place. Just to give you an idea — I am an hour's drive from the Lab where I live and both of us are well within the "Los Angeles" area — make that a 3 hour drive during rush hour.

Is he going to be working here? Does he know where?...there are so many areas of the town, with varied housing costs. It can be a bit of a shock — the rent here ain't cheap.

Yea, i'm sure they're in for all kinds of surprises, rent not the least of them! They will be working for at least that first year while they apply to grad and med schools, but they don't know what that work will be yet. She's a midwife actually so hopefully she'll find some way she can do some of that for a while. Basically it's all up in the air for them at this point! Hell, they could change their plans again and there goes my dream of having a place to stay while i visit the lab. Heh heh.
