Ain'a That Good News!
Party People... (all three of you);
I am having a fantabulous day. I have had a shitty 2008, but today, today is fantabulous.
Grad school will probably ACTUALLY (to those who knew him, give praise to Big T) happen.
I'm at work, having a better than normal day because my boss is unexpectedly ill, and my class (and a test) were cancelled (class was cancelled; the test just postponed). I check my email and see that Out West University has invited me to their Prospective Graduate Student Weekend. This is important, because when a university, any university, invites you to fly out on their dime, they are considering you. More importantly for me, they don't think you suck.
This is amazing- first, because the apps were mostly due at the beginning of January, and I have been a nervous wreck trying to wait patiently for a decision from the admissions committee. Now I have hope, and a trip to look forward to. Because if Out West University is willing to fly me out, the other nine schools can't think I'm pond scum, and even if they do, guess what- one school doesn't, and all it takes is one.
This is better than online dating...or online looking, more accurately, which I am also trying right now. With much less enthusiasm than pursuing my Ph.D., but- a girl's gotta have priorities.
I am loving life, and can't wait to go to out West and see what I can see. To quote- "You people really like me!"
And btw, thanks, shitty 2008. that made today seem so much sweeter.
