Blu pretty much covered everything. I figured everything was set (well as set as it can be with us changing our minds all the time), but then I received the packet from Carthage College in the mail. It just looked so nice and it's a small college which is a big selling point from me. I was kinda nervous telling Blu, but she seemed excited for me and we decided it was probably for the best since it would be easier for us to relocate to a city with degrees.

So, I went and saw and applied. What's funny is that Blu actually submitted her application before I did. I just kept talking about Carthage and the thought occurred to me that it would be cool if she went, but figured it wouldn't interest her since she liked it where she was. It was just so nice there and the more I talked about it the more interested she became so we spent the whole night looking at the school's website and talking about it. She ended up applying. The next day I applied. Now we are waiting.

I know that she might not like it when she sees it, I doubt it, but its possible. Or there might be a problem or something and she can't go. Or maybe we just aren't compatible as roommates (highly unlikely but we like to look at every angle). I mean worst case scenario is that she comes out and we go to Carthage overnight and she doesn't like it and we don't want to be roommates. I mean it's good we figure it out now and you know what? That isn't gonna stop us from being friends and having hilarious conversations over the internet. It's better this way so we know. Honestly, I believe that we will be fine together and she will like it there, but if she doesn't then she doesn't and we look ahead to when we both have our degrees.

Personally I can't wait till next month when she comes. I mean I'm usually not good when anyone comes over cause I never know what to do, but I don't think that will be a problem this time. I'm pretty sure we can just do the things we do over skype together. I foresee us sitting at the computer laughing at stupid YouTube videos and analyzing peoples tweets, and laughing at ridiculous things that our family member have done. I also hope there is enough snow that we can sled down our hill once or twice (if I can talk her into it lol), but not a whole bunch to where she wont want to move over here for school.

Okay, as I am writing this I am talking to Blu on a messenger and we just figured out that tomorrow will be exactly three weeks until she comes here! So exciting! I hope she is not disappointed in anything with her visit cause it would be awesome to room together at college. I just know that above everything I want her to do what is right for her. If Hofstra would be better for her then I want her to go there. She is my friend and I love her and I need her to be happy for me to be. Whatever happens I know that we will continue to be friends and have hilarious times together.

P.S. I am so excited!!!!

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,
