It has been about a week since my mom arrived in Italy, and about five days since I moved out of Via Guido Monaco. The new apartment is absolutely lovely, and I'm very glad to see my mom. Still, it was very sad seeing all my suitemates go home, and our last day together was very bittersweet to me. I have been feeling very conflicted these past days. On the one hand, I am sad that all of my friends are gone and that I am facing a month and a half alone and with limited internet use (I am now sitting in this trendy bar-cafe called Moyo that has free wi-fi access; a God-send, I assure you). On the other hand, however, I'm glad to see my mother, and I know I'll be travelling and my brother will be arriving soon. And also something happened last Thursday.
NYU told us that we had to be moved out of our apartments by noon on Thursday, 4 May. So, it was about noon and I had to leave. I decided to give one last check of my email account before internet would be hard to come by. When I opened NYUHome, there was an email labelled "internal transfer acceptance." I began hyperventilating, and opened it. The rest is history.
On Saturday I faxed over my acceptance of the offer of admission to the Tisch School of the Arts. Now I just have to play email tag with some people to get everything squared away and confirmed. Either way, this probably means that I will be in New York City for most of the summer. Excellent. And, on top of knowing what I will be doing over the summer, I know what I will be doing for the next two years of my life.
