hi kids
i don't post here much anymore, but
i got in to grad school. in september, i'll be pursuing an m.a. in theatre history and dramaturgy at texas state university. most likely, it'll take me 2 years, maybe 2 1/2. after that, who knows? if the first year goes well, i'm hoping to quit my job by my 29th birthday to be a full-time student the second year.
i'm really excited. this is something i'd aimed to do when i decided to move out of massachusetts, and i'm pretty proud and happy that i was able to get in (texas state isn't a particularly competitive school, but the program is small, and it really suits my background and interests). texas state has very limited summer offerings, so i'm also hoping to spend next summer in europe or boston or san francisco, doing some sort of summer theater thing. it feels really nice to have a door open to me like this.
oddly enough, natalie (my middle sister) was accepted for a master's in special education for fall, and my youngest sister, emma, is doing a master's in social work via university of phoenix (yeah, i KNOW, i have reservations about that, too, but if it works, good for her). so we're suddenly ALL in grad school, ages 24, 26, 28.
i'm so excited. i can't even express it. i have a LOT of reading to do. if any of y'all know anything of summer theater programs that sound interesting, let me know, since i'll probably have to start going after that stuff in a few months.
also, i'm buying a (new, not going to catch fire on the highway - oh, have i not shared that story?) car in august or september. which, ugh, doesn't excite me, though the thought of having transportation for band gear/theater and film stuff/road trips DOES.
