After months of waiting, today I received word: I've been accepted into
the Corcoran's
History of Decorative Arts MA program! I'll begin in the fall. I honestly had no idea whether they would find me to be "grad student material," as even I have trouble imagining myself as such. But we'll see how it goes. At least the commute is simple, considering the school's in DC (which is a big plus for lazy, lazy me). Anyway, yay!
To celebrate,
Adam took me to dinner along with some friends. We went to the
Lost Dog Cafe in Arlington, which has great pizza, more varieties of sandwich than you can shake a stick at, and the money goes to a great cause,
lostdogrescue.org, from which we adopted Leilani. After dinner and dessert (between the five of us we managed to order the "Good Dog," "Bad Dog," and "Blond Dog" brownies), we headed to Ballston Common Mall, where the presence of a photobooth had been
purported. Well, we found the booth, but it was off. It seemed like a bust, but
Peter grabbed my camera and insisted we get a picture anyway. So, here's to new beginnings, I guess.
