Thinking 'bout mahself.
Accepted into Mason's MFA in fiction. Yay!
They also offered me free tuition and a stipend if I sell my soul to them and teach undergrads for three years.
We all know how I feel about the vast majority of Mason's undergrads... But tuition is expensive. ...But the stipend is not enough to keep my apartment and survive.
The alternative is getting a full-time job teaching and selling my soul to someone else for a loan.
But at least I got in, at least I'll be writing again, and at least I have a very vague plan for a few more years. Very, very vague. But we'll see.
I spent the past hour trying to explain all of this to my mother and it was like I was speaking in Cantonese to her??? Taking her to her head-scan-thing on Wednesday. I love how whenever I'm at bars with friends, they all assume I'm moping just because I'm single. Sometimes I want to smack them and tell them to grow the hell up. MY MOTHER IS LOSING HER MENTAL FUNCTION AND MY PROBLEMS ARE REAL.
No, but I'm not actually angsting about that and I'm going to go bake some shit as a self-congratulatory pat on the back.
