Whim-sically Mine Continuation...

After many years (about 4 and half, to be exact) of thinking and talking about going to Parsons The New School for Design, I finally applied. Just this last Friday I received the letter congratulating me on being accepted into the fashion design program. Having applied on a whim I thought this nearly impossible. However, I am elated. Now, I just need to decide (by next week nonetheless) as to whether I will be picking up everything and moving across the country to New York City! I am thrilled and terrified - having never been to the Big Apple as of yet. Will it live up to the movies, books and comments of others? Am I "too nice" to fit in with New Yorkers (haha)? It is one of the most enthralling cities in the world, entices millions of visitors every year and I have the opportunity to take a bite out of it. So, my decision will not be one taken lightly. Regardless of what I decide to do, I feel amazed to be accepted into a school that has housed such icons as Marc Jacobs, Tom Ford, Donna Karan and even (though not in the fashion industry) Norman Rockwell! To follow in the footsteps of these designers would be a lifetime experience not soon forgotten. Alors, I will have to make a choice and all too soon, unfortunately.
