Much Needed Update!
I’ve been slacking on my blogging, sorry about that. Thank you to everyone who wished me a happy birthday. =)
So much has happened in the last month, counting between the end of June and till now, that its too much to write out. To explain it in a nutshell, I’m moving. Yup, no more Florida or Orlando. Well at least just for tiny bit longer as I fix some loose ends here and clean up shop…haha. I’ve decided to finally go to New York and attend The New York Film Academy that I’ve been looking at for a good year now.
If you’re a constant reader, you’ll know I talked about going to Full Sail here in Orlando and are probably wondering what happened to my idea of going there? Well, its called reality, the school is REALLY expensive for just two years and I’m too poor for it. Even if I applied for the Pell Grant and took out loans…after two years and 7 months, I’d have to be paying it all back. $75,000.00 USD is not easy to pay back no matter the “monthly installments”. I know that’s how college life is, but it makes more sense if it were spanned out to 4 years instead of 2, no?
Anywho, the NYFA is much cheaper and pretty much the same as Full Sail, probably only a little more old school and better yet, in the heart of New York City. I’m a sucker for the city! Well until I can officially move there, which will most likely be at the beginning of next year or ending of this one, I hope, I will be saving up like crazy. Now I just need to decide whether I save up in Tallahassee or back in my home state of Massachusetts? Hmmm….

Roxy, that’s great to hear! I’m so happy for you. And like you said it’s in New York which is 20x’s better than Orlando and much more opportunity awaits you there, no matter what you end up doing.
I’m extremely jealous of you right now! I really hope you keep this blog up and keep us updated on everything. Even though NY,…girl you need to save every nickel you have. lol

@ Steph – I will be sure to update as much as I can while I move. I was actually thinking that once I get into NY, I would daily blogging of my “adventures” in NYC…with pictures and everything! haha.

That is so great! Yeah, I remember you mentioning that you wanted to move to Orlando. As much as I love Florida (used to live in Jacksonville
), if it’s gonna be cheaper to go to NY, I’d rather go to school there. Besides, NY sounds exciting

Take care, roxaaannnne!

I’m glad to hear that you’re safe and sound!!! I don’t know… I think Tallahassee is too slow…move to Massachusetts! (It’s closer to NY anyway)
