me and franny
Things are happening! I actually got into grad school! Return sense of terror about complex philosophical readings!!! RETURN!!!

About 2 weeks ago I got my first acceptance (Umass-Boston), and the second one came about a week after that (Arkansas), and I got a call telling me I was on the top of the waitlist of another (Florida), but it's all really exciting and feels a little silly.

It's just our lives.

I've decided I will not go to Umass-Boston (no money plus extravagant cost of living in Boston = LOADS OF DEBT),
and that leaves my current options of locale for the next year at
Fayetteville, AR or Gainesville, FL.
Unless I hear from the other schools. Or maybe I wont get an offer from Florida.
Who knows.
It's all up in the air still!
I have no idea!


Well, it's exciting.

Thanks! Is everyone asking you why you are going south, too? I hear Atlanta's pretty fun-- one of my friends grew up there and he loves it.

Congratulations! :-D I hope you'll update from one of those places so I can learn about the South. Is Arkansas even "the South?" I think so, because Bill Clinton has an accent. Wow, I'm the archetype of the hated Yankee.

ANYWAY, I am very excited for you! And also, I am visiting in May for 4 or 5 days and hopefully making a trip to Boston, in which case I really want to see you.

Ha! Yes, it is the south, and I also determined that from Bill Clinton's accent, but we would be up in the mountains by Oklahoma. Please, please, please come to Boston for a visit!!!! It would be fun! We could hang out with the dog and a bottle of wine!

i've been in small southern college town for 9 months now and it is starting to grow on me. i think both places are supposed to be fun and have an irrational taste for college basketball. keep the peanut gallery updated!
