(no subject)
A few things:
1) Look look look, I have new icons! I feel like a new woman.
2) The Fic I Have Been Working On Forever will be done before the SPN hiatus ends, which is next Thursday (and let me tell you, man am I looking forward to that ep). Hoping to not post on the night of. roseanna, you have been warned. We can talk details later. *facepalm*
3) A recspost will probably be forthcoming tomorrow or at least this weekend, because I've got a lot piled up.
4) Now to the big news, a long story short:
On Wednesday, I received an acceptance letter from Marquette University's International Affairs Master's program. Seeing as I hadn't even known my application was complete (as the website told me it wasn't), this was quite a surprise. As per my last post, I have also been accepted into UWM's Political Science Master's program, and this left me to choose between the programs.
I'll spare you the pros and cons I weighed. Marquette essentially is impossible for me to attend: no graduate housing, they'll give me no financial aid despite having much higher tuition, and sans graduate housing the neighborhood is guaranteed to be just slightly worse. The FAFSA for UWM panned out to give me just enough to allow me to go there, pay my book bill, and pay for campus housing, though I'm likely to have to TA (a decision I may hear about soon, or only just as I get into registration and all, who knows) or workstudy in order to be able to eat.
In conclusion: I'm going to UW-Milwaukee's Political Science Master's program and living on campus, a move which, in case you've joined this program already in progress, is completely new to me. New and exciting developments. I await the arrival of any documents that might ensure me said housing, but I've already signed onto the loans. August 23rd is the first day of classes, and I am FAR PAST quite excited.
Except now I have to send an e-mail to the head of Marquette's International Affairs program, who I've spoken to on the phone several times and like a bit, and who has treated me surprisingly well as a candidate for this program despite that I have no professional experience, not really. I feel weird having to let him down easy. This is not a common situation.
The Kenilworth Square Apartments where I plan to live, for the record. Nice place. Ready to smoothtalk my way in there if need be.
Still don't have a job, but I'm working on it. Hope things are going this well for everyone else.
