Cornell or Bust!!

Josh LOVES Cornell! He is so excited about it. He loved the school, the program, the people, the area and anything else he could think of!! They were really great to him and told him to expect their offer with full funding soon (either end of this week or beginning of next). He got to meet with Professors, and take a bunch of tours. I am excited because we have been looking at Cornell for about 3 years now, and I am just excited it is working out so well. I have jumped in with both feet (really should have only jumped in with one at this time) into the housing situation and what we want to do. We have made contact with a very thorough broker who has answered all of my 999,999 questions in only two days!! He is enthusiastic and great!

We are so excited to be moving on. Ok, I'm excited, and Josh will be once all his work at school is done. Until that time he just feels excited and overwhelmed with all he still has to do in the next five months.

Here are a few pictures of Cornell.



This video shows two girls playing the bells. The bells in the tower are each connected to one of the pieces of wood. The girls are playing Cornell's school song. The girl in the pink has been doing this for 2 years and the one in the black for 1. I guess it is just something they get hired to do while in school. They do it 2 or 3 times a day. I can't remember. Anyway, it's pretty cool.

Hooray! I hope you end up out here. Eventhough it is like five hours away from us, it is still cool. Everyday I am reminded that I love New York with all of my heart and we are never leaving. This is by far the best place we have ever lived, imagine that?
