so, as much as i was fumming while writing the last entry, this one is the total opposite. it turns out that i finally did receive my financial aid from syracuse (with a little help from my mom calling the school to bitch them all out). it turns out that financially i'm better off going to syracuse in the long run, even with the extra fifth year. that is pretty sweet. so it looks as if my dream has come true. syracuse it is right? but no, i'm still undecided about RIT. so this week i really have to mull over the programs and minor discrepancies to make my final decision.
