Wait, how are you going to finish grad school if you're moving to Hawaii? Are you almost done? I'm sure that was taken into consideration.
The University of Hawaii has a similar program, and my credits will transfer, if I decide to finish with the MBA program. It really sort of depends on what I end up doing over there. Business is not my dream profession, honestly, but it may be what I'm stuck with now!

The vote of un-confidence seems pretty typical for a mother-daughter relationship, from everything I've seen. At least it's coming from a place of concern and is well-meaning?
Yeah... She was beside herself when I went three hours to college, and I was home all the time. She hated my boyfriend in college because I would've moved to Memphis, which was four hours away. I have talked myself out of ever moving out of state because I knew she would react this way. But **** it, I can't live my life to make her happy. If I wait until she dies to move away, I won't be young enough to enjoy it!

I think the whole thing sounds like a cool experience. I bet it'll be neat to shake things up and do something sudden and kind of scary. If you go in with the right attitude, I can't see any way that it won't be a worthwhile experience, even if you ultimately decide it's not for you.

I have to say, I have been pretty discouraged because of all of the negativity I'm getting from my group of friends and family, but I know that once I get past these next few months and actually get out there, it'll be exciting.
