I'm writing because I promised my buddy Ben some news. It has been a while since I blogged.

   This spring, I got an acceptance letter from Cornell University to study Landscape Architecture. The letter came a day after my boss told me I didn't deserve a raise after three years of hard work, low pay  and overtime which caused me to be hospitalized. So, I decided to enroll. Which means, taking out more loans. But one of my goals may be achieved in going back to school and that is never being under-employed again! I know, never say never, plus I haven't got all my loan money yet! 

I quit my job in July and moved in with my Mom until I go New York. It was a tough move. Mostly because of leaving the few supporters and friends that I have. Some of it has to do with the amount of stuff I had to get rid of and leaving an area I was familiar with for six years. Yet by just getting accepted by an institution like Cornell has been vindicating. I don't normally seek external validation, but it feels good to have successfully applied to a great school when the majority of people in the Bay Area cussed me out, broke my (he)art, questioned my character and my abilities. I proved them wrong.
