For those whom I haven't told, I was offered a fellowship for my grad work at UT (Middle Eastern Studies MA program). Huzzah! They're paying me a stipend of $12,000 over the nine month academic year, and are also paying $4,000 of my tuition per semester, and paying for me to have medical insurance through the school if I want. That means I can drop to part-time once I start school, which is great news. I did not want to have to work full-time my first year of grad school. It seems like that would be crazy-making.

Can't wait for school to start. Patrick teases me about being a teacher's pet, because I'm already emailing professors to ask for recommended reading lists to get started on.
