I believe it was yesterday morning when I heard someone singing a karaoke. They were singing "Empire State of Mind" or whatever that song is called and they were all like, "Let's hear it for New York, New York..." I almost died when someone else said, "Ohh, that's the remix." Hahahaha. I immediately thought of P. Diddy and I almost died. It was hilarious. But, I got happy about the prospect of being in New York and about when it will finally take place.

So, Rani and I have been talking lately that we should let you guys in on what is going on. I guess I should let you guys know because it's only fair that you guys know.

About a month and a half ago, Rani got a package from a college in the mail. She didn't request it but she looked through it. At the moment, she's in a college where she does all her classes online, which is cool because she could move to New York and just do her classes online still. But, as Rani was looking through the papers of the college, she began to get excited and stuff.

So, she decided to go visit the college and she decided to apply. She mentioned it to me before she went to visit the school and I was like, "That's great!" So, it was no surprise when she told me that she thought she would apply. This obviously puts our plans for New York/Connecticut or wherever back about two or three years. But, in the end it is so much better because by that time Rani and I will both have a college degree. And, let's be honest, it is much easier to make it in the city with a job when one has a college degree.

Well, when Rani got back from Carthage College she told me all about how it went. I got really excited for her and well, I decided I would check it out. It was hilarious because Rani and I were on Skype and she kept trying to convince me to apply to Carthage. Well, honestly... I started thinking about applying to colleges because I have been at the community college level for quite some time and it is time for me to be at an university. So, I ended up applying to Carthage with Rani.

I mean, I also looked at Hofstra University in New York because, well, they have some really good majors and such. And it would be nice to be in New York. I had applied to Hofstra back when I graduated high school in 2001 and I got accepted so, I don't see how I couldn't get accepted now that I have some college credits and a pretty good GPA at that.

So, I applied at Hofstra and at Carthage and I'm really excited about both of them. In mid-March, I'm going to go visit Hofstra for the day and, ohh... the week after that, during Spring Break... I'm going to go visit Rani and we're going to go stay over one night at Carthage College. If we do end up going to Carthage, we are going to be roommates, duh!

So, that's that.

What else do I need to mention? Ohh, yes... I also applied for re-admission to the University of Massachusetts in Boston because they might finally give me my apartment from public housing. And, if they do... then, I will have to make some decisions about whether I will take the apartment or just go to these other schools or whatever. I don't know yet.

Either way, I'm excited.

Rani will tell you guys more information later.

Until next time,
