I'm sure there are a number of things I had planned on blogging about and never did. C'est la vie. Shit happens.
It's currently almost one in the morning, I'm bored, I'm awake, and I leave for San Francisco tomorrow at midnight to catch a flight to New York. I'm pretty excited to visit NYC, because I've never really been to the East Coast, aside from a driving trip we took to Tennessee when I was young, and because, hey, who doesn't want to go to New York? It's funny that I've been to places like London and Paris, but never New York. I'm sure the trip will be full of amazing vegan food, annoyance at drunk friends, good times, and an incredible lack of money.
Maybe I'll post a blog while I'm there or when I get back. Don't get your hopes up, though.

How Not to Get into College.
Step 1: Use a really shitty wifi router.
I'm having an extremely hard time filling out all of my applications, what with my lack of reliable internet. There are so many various, seedy networks in my neighborhood that no matter what I do, I can't stay on my own. It doesn't help that the new router is a piece of shit, but whatever. C'est la vie.
The more I think about it, the more I want to just give up on Berkeley and move to Brooklyn. The Bay Area feels like home to me, but I'm starting to think that in order to really be happy and be my own person without having to deal with anyone else's influence, Oakland may not be far enough from San Francisco or even Madera. Maybe I need to just get the hell out of California altogether, despite the fact that it's been my home all my life. Of course, I'd move back after college, but I think it might be good to get away for a few years. Even if I don't get into Pratt, there are plenty of other schools. Then again, there's the question of whether I'm making this decision based on actually wanting to live over there or just on a desire to get away from people and things that are bringing me down (and believe me, there are plenty of them). Either way, I suppose it's a valid concern.

Reasons to move to New York:
- Pratt Institute
- Blake Schwarzenbach and his various musical endeavors
- New people
- Tons of things to do
- No need to drive
- Closer to England
- No need to deal with Maderans
- More vegan options
- More record enthusiasts
- Different weather
Before I go, I'd like to wish Morrissey a speedy, successful recovery. My thoughts are with you, dear Sir.
