Love, shine like a burning star
In 13 days, I shall rock the Savannah College of Art and Design Graduation Ceremonies with my wonderful Forever21 floral dress and Seychelle shoes and a box full of tissues, because I'll be in complete desbelief that I've actually made it this far and that my family will be here to witness such an important day. Shit, even by just thinking about it, I get a little teary eyed. This is so important to all of us. The rocky path has been hard for our family. It was not easy for my mother and her siblings to reach inmense dreams; money was scarse, and so was encouragement. It is up to us to step into the paths that our parents dreamed of.
I will still have Summer Quarter left, in which I WONT suffer another breakdown like I did this quarter. Not exactly sure the exact date of my departure to NEw York City. School is over on August 24th, then on the 25th I shall SLEEP AS IF I HAD WALKED ALL THE WAY FROM WICHITA ON A HOT SUMMER DAY CARRYING A DONKEY AND A HEAVY ASS VIEW-CAMERA. Oh yes. Then on the 26th I shall resume business once again.
Depending on how much CRAP I have left by August, I will either, a) Fly to nyc and mail all my belongings (which I'm somewhat uncomfortable about); b) Rent a big SUV and shove everything in there, c) Rent a small car AND a small U-Haul trailer. Whatever I end up doing, it will cost no less than $300, which is where family charity figures into the equation.
Anybody ever traveled from the South to NYC (or surrounding area)? How much in gas did you spend? Do you stay in a hotel midway?
SQUEEE I'm sooo excited/frightened already!
(And yes, I have my precious tickets for the Bow Wow concert this 27th! I had to choke a bitch in order to get 'em! BOW WOW, BE MY DAWG!)
