Different dilemmas

Just past the halfway point in my internship/Chicago adventure, I am beginning to debate my next step.

The options:
1. Stay in Chicago. Pros: Great theatre scene, I like the city, I have a great place to live.
Cons: Damn cold. No playmates.
2. Move to Portland. Pros: Jenny. NOT damn cold. Cool place to live.
Cons: Another new city to learn and adapt to.

Grad school:
1. MFA: Ideally Wisconsin, if they would ever contact me. Con: Very difficult to get in to.
2. MA/MS-> PhD: A different approach. Less practical, more academic. Then again, I am a geek.
3. None: Degrees are not required to work in theatre, although they are helpful. Then again, maybe theatre is not my grown up future. (Had a bit of a creative crisis last night at Argonautika. I don't know if I will ever be able to do something that cool, because I am more editorial than "creative". *sigh*)

Easier:
1. Stay in Chicago for Thanksgiving: Wander around the zoo, or go with cousins to their family. Be available for rehearsals.
2. Go home to Charlottesville: bit more money, but the food and company would be amazing.
