Little cuz Allison Ciaramitaro just got offered a job down in Texas as the morning meteorologist at a station KMID. Don’t ask me what it stands for.
Being a meteorologist was a dream of Ally from before she went to college.
I distinctly remember the standard speech I give to all kids before they go off to college and exactly where I had this conversation with Allison, in Sista Felicia’s kitchen.
It goes like this-
“listen, no matter what anyone tells you, college is a cakewalk as long as you do two things-
Devote at least an hour and a half to doing your homework, and don’t skip any of your classes. A typical college you have about 3 or 4 hours of classes and then if you add an hour and a half of homework that’s a measly 5.5 hours out of 24. Believe me if you just don’t blow off your classes and do the homework you’re pretty much easily gonna get a 3.0 or higher and then you still have 18.5 hours of the day to do whatever you want. Get hammered if you want, JUST DON’T SKIP YOUR CLASSES & DO YOUR HOMEWORK! Devoting 5.5 hours of your day to actual work will be the easiest you’ll ever have it for the rest of your working life so suck it up and then party like a rock star the rest of the time.”
Standard speech I must have given a hundred times now.
Anyway Congrats Cuz! Proud of you!!!!

Woot ! Woot ! Allison!! We are so proud of you ! You deserve every bit of happiness life has to offer!you are such a good role model to all your younger cousins.
