<p>It’s not that I don’t want to go to Florida State (Larry Gerber has made this decision much more difficult by actually calling me to express his interest), but after how Isang in my audition, and the way I connected with the teacher, and also just the way the judges reacted after my audition, I was expecting them to make the cost of attendance at least manageable for me, which hasn’t been the case. I’m still waiting to hear what is to be done with the remaining financial aid, but it’s looking more likely that FSU is where I’ll end up. Which isn’t much of a step down, I’ll admit. But when you love a school so much, it’s hard to walk away.</p>
