HEY! I was thinking about you a couple of days ago. I figured you were super busy with school work. I don't blame you!!! It IS a bitch.

Good to see you're doing well. Missed you around here! :D

I am looking forward to the randomness of life. Random is good.

Haha. I am totally applying to Grad school in 2012 or 2013 for a Master's in English.
When I start going crazy, at least I know I'll have you to rant to! :)

Good luck with it all!

Crazy woman!

What area of English are you looking at? Writing or Literature. I am glad that I never switched to writing. Thesis has to be 35-50 pages (mine is 40) but Creative Writing has to do an 80-100 page manuscript (not a portfolio as they originally had it. They have to defend it, talk about critics who would comment on it, and what writers inspired them and what they took from them.

My defense is 45 minutes, creative writing is over an hour.

I chose wisely.

And yes I have thought about PhD in Victorian Literature/Gender Studies, but I need the foreign language, higher GPA, and time. (I am looking at Rosetta Stone)
