Hope dangles on a string, like slow spinning redemption

This morning, I woke up to an email from Dr. Rozas (my putative advisor at Trinity) telling me that two of her grant proposals were refused ( Read more... )

*hugs* I'm sorry it looks like the thing with Trinity isn't going to work out.

I can't speak for the other two, but I know University of Michigan is definitely good. And Ann Arbor is one of my favorite towns (my grandparents live there)

*hugs* Thanks hon.

UofM is in the top 20 for Chemistry programs, so yeah, pretty good :) I hear lots of great things about Ann Arbor too. I've been there many times, ironically, but basically we just stayed with my uncle for a few days every time and then went up north to see my cousins in Lansing. Weirdly I don't think I've ever been in downtown Ann Arbor, even though I've been there dozens of times! Can you tell me what you like about it? :)

That sucks so so so hard, Anne. That being said, I know that you will end up somewhere fantastic, doing amazing things. ♥

Thank you <3

ahh i'm so sorry. :( ever since i left spain i've only ever thought about going back. i know what you mean about your heart. mine's still over there.

but i also just wanted to say...yayyyy university of michigan!!! :)

Yes, exactly this. The pain of missing and the need to go back still has the ability to catch me by surprise, at any moment. I miss Dublin so much :(

Ooh, do you go there?? Tell me things! What's the school like? What's Ann Arbor like? The more firsthand info the better!

Heehee. I DO have a lot of interwebs friends over on the West Coast, and that would certainly be an awesome benefit! Can you tell me anything about Seattle? <3

The University of Washington (known around these parts as 'u dub') is a really great school as well, and Seattle is... fantastic. I do hope that Trinity works out, but yay for considering something that is relatively close to me!

exsequar November 8 2008, 16:49:41 UTC

I've heard great things about Seattle, but only in the abstract! Can you tell me more?? Just your general impressions that might help my decision making :)
