Drama, drama, drama, drama. I wasn't even involved and somehow I become embroiled in it. That's okay. I've got my priorities straight. I'm finished with my BU application. =)  Just waiting for mommy to come home so I can submit it.

I didn't think it would make me this happy but it does.

Going out tomorrow. A little bit of karaoke, a lotta bit of chilling and hanging around with Ly Ky TranSvestite.
But I love it.

It's almost strange, this whole college process, because to be honest, I'm not really all that excited to be graduating. It would be wonderful to go to Boston University but even if I do get in (which is probable) I probably won't be able to afford to go even with a merit scholarship. And that's really the only place I'm excited to go to college. SUNY Bing is nice and I can definitely see myself there, but it's not a feeling of excitement. I don't know. I wish I could easiliy apply anywhere I wanted without ever having to think about cost or how it'll affect my family. I wish financial stuff was out of the question.
  
According to Ms. Plesnik, Harvard University is now completely doing away with tuition for applicants whose total income is less than $60,000. You get a free ride to Harvard University. It almost makes me wish I qualified for that financially. But I'm glad my parents do make money.

I just wish we were in a position where they told me "Just apply anywhere you want, don't worry about the cost."

It's an irrational dream but it'd be something wonderful.

I think that will be my life goal. My mission. Aside from being a fabulous surgeon with a gorgeous brownstone on the upper east side.

I want my kids to be able to apply wherever they want without having to worry about the cost.

But if they've got an easier life, will they really try so hard? I'm worried about the luxury mentality. And in some twisted way I begin to understand my parent's rationale for wanting to send us kids to the Philippines if they get an inkling we're taking something for granted.

More meaning less art.
