Hippie College, Romance, and New Zealanders

Currently Listening too: NYC by Snow Patrol

 

Album: Songs for Polarbears 

 

I hate to talk about how things in my life are looking up, but what the hell. I need to let loose all the wonderful things that have happened to me in the last couple of days. For once in my life, everything seems on track.

 

As I let you guys know earlier I was having trouble choosing between two schools mostly because of finicial reasons. It was either between a small private school in Albany, NY (The College of Saint Rose) or a hippie feel public school in Weschester, NY (SUNY Purchase). I have finally decided on the hippie bohemian school, Purchase.

 

I went to visit the school today and fall in love with the whole vibe, the education, the students, the location, and just everything. I know that is where I am suppose to be. It is one of the greatest feelings in the world to know what you want to do with the rest of your life_ or a least for the next four years. You see I will be studying Journalism at Purchase with a whole mess of other subjects, such as : Dramatic Film Writing, Creative Writing, Cinema Studies, and Basic Studio Art. I'm excited to start this new journey...know only if high school would finally end.

 

 

Another great thing about Purchase is that it's affordable...I just got to start working on the private scholarships...

 

 

Besides my choice of college, my personal life hasn't been to shaby either.

 

I'm totally smitten (yes I use the word smitten) with a guy I never thought I would even give a second glance. I have finally let my guard down and found someone who is there for my best interests. He likes me for me, not because I appear to be some plastic babe with huge boobs.

 

He likes me on a personal level, an emotional level, he is just the type who clicks with my personality.

 

 

He won't take my bullshit, and I won't take his. It's almost too perfect.

 

And I have a feeling that our friendship will grow into something much more in the next following days...

 

 

The last great news to happen to me lately was the news I heard last friday about an upcoming Flight of the Conchords concert in my local area.As you may, or may not no, (from my Journal Bowie's in Space), Flight of the Conchords is one of my favorite comedy/folk groups and a great television show. It never gets old for me. I was estatic when I heard that the concert was in April, during spring break...meaning I defintely have a chance to see them.

 

Today was the internet presale. It started this morning at 10 am. But since I was visiting the college this morning I had to wait to buy the tickets when I got home.

 

The problem I had to use my step dad credit card and we wasn't getting home until late tonight. I have to use his card because he already has a account with ticketmaster and the money I had gotten for my birthday went into my step dad's and mother's shared back account. The money (from my dead-beat dad) was in my mother's name, even though I let him know I had my own account.

 

Anyways for literary an half an hour I couldn't find any tickets, anywere, not even in the nosebleed seats. I was starting to freak out because I couldn't believe this show could be sold out in a day....that was amazing.

 

Eventually I found two tickets...and I have to say I'm extermely happy. They aren't in the best seats, but god damn it I'm going to see Bret and Jemaine in April!!!!!

 

So who cares?

 

 

So basically I'm in a wickedly good mood....let's see how long this mood will last.

 

I'm praying that it will.
