Take Me to Another Place

Here's a video (anyone remember Arrested Development?)that could be descriptive of my life next fall. I was accepted by the University of Tennessee, but only for another MA (in literature). It is funded, but not exactly with enough money to live comfortably on.




I'm still waiting to hear from four other schools. If I get into Missouri or Nebraska it might be hard to find a theme song. I'll do my best.

Final Project and USC are Done

My final project, though flawed, is complete and approved. So, unless the committee decides to turn it down (very unlikely), I have completed all the requirements of the MPW degree. I'm going to start calling it an MFA, just to avoid confusion. Also, it makes me feel as if I didn't waste money on the degree.

In other news, I will not be attending a PhD program in the Fall. All three turned me down, although the rumor is that I was "close" at USC. They accepted 2 out of 80 applications; so I'm not surprised. I would have loved to stay at 'SC and work with the incredible PhD faculty in the English department, but it looks like I'll have the first year completely off from school since kindergarten.

My responsibilities as a TA are wrapping up and I'm looking forward to the summer and trying to get a story or two published.
