this morning, thinking i was receiving a bit of inspiration, i jotted down on page 1 of my new hand-made notebook:
this, of course, is part of my self-therapy to "get over it," "hitch my wagon to the stars," "live life deliberately," and remind myself that "i have nothing to gain, nothing to lose."
so, if all windows & doors are open AND i have nothing to lose, then today is my day!
sign up for two writing classes. check.
sign up for one drawing & composition class. check.
email two former professors asking them to write a reference letter because i'm just going to do it...i'm going to apply for the bread loaf school of english master's program. gulp.
my friend, who is a genuis i might add, has told me that they're desperate for students...they'll take anyone. is this supposed to be encouraging? she thinks so. it makes me want to rip what brains i do have out of my child-size head (it's true, all my hats must be purchased from the kids' section).
email two professors. check. double gulp. what do i think i'm doing?!
one reply from one professor. check.
he's happy to write the reference...after seeing more examples of my writing because "Breadloaf is a premier program, as you know, and they have multiple generic focuses, but they need me to speak to a range of writerly skill."
oh crap.
i'm a historian. not a creative writer...at least not a ten-page-creative-writer.
so, yes. i feel stupid. but i'm going to go along with it. because supposedly they're willing to accept anyone.
does that include people who buy their hats in the children's section?

Good Luck!!!
my sister has to buy her hats in the children's section too.
I would like to point out a few things.
1. You're a great writer in my opinion!
2. That school sounds SO intriguing!
3. I too have a child sized head.
