So, umm, I have news.
As some of you know, and some of you don't, I've decided to move back to Georgia.
(This is from an email I sent to Genevieve, who is in London, explaining all of it.)
"I went to orientation at FIT on Monday and found out that I can't get in-state tuition. For a lot of reasons -- my name's not on a lease; I didn't file taxes in the state of NY, etc. Anyway, to make a long story short, I'd be paying $20,000 for an Associates' Degree. When I was expecting about $8000. And when I can get an academic scholarship if I was in the state of Georgia to finish a Bachelors'.
So. I'm moving back to good ol' G-A. I'm gonna live with my parents until Jan. when I hope to be starting school (maybe at Georgia State in Atlanta?). To finish an English degree. Yeah, it's been a long, crazy, sad, relieved week. I've been starting to get tired of New York for a while, and I want to be closer to my grandparents right now."
I don't really want to talk about "feelings" right now. But there will be plenty of posts about what I'm going to miss about New York. And I plan on doing everything I've wanted to do in New York before I pick up the rental van that I'm driving home on September 17th. So I'll document all of that stuff, too.

Rats.
Well, you still rock.
Lauren, this didn't surprise me, and I'm not exactly referring to the post. :)
FROM A GOOD FRIEND IN GOOD OL' G-A I'M SO HAPPY THAT YOU ARE COMING HOME! Call me selfish...but I'm happy.
Awww, I know I'll be missed. But the good people of Georgia have gone without me for long enough.
