i bring you happy news indeed...

1.28.2010



i won't make you wait for this news:
i just received my acceptance letter in the mail
to go to Bread Loaf School of English
to pursue a MA in Creative Writing.
Wahoo!!!!

boy, do i feel watched over.
i cried when i opened the letter
{too bad i'm alone in the apartment for 10 days!}
i did get to talk to ceej on the phone to tell
him the great news before he is unreachable via phone.

i've had my days, worrying and doubting.
remember when i first told you about my dreams?
remember how i gushed about an admired professor,
and how i wasn't sure graduate school was for me?
remember my pep-talk-to-self and i told myself to get over it?
oh, and then there was that night when i completely lost it.

oh. my.
here i am.
going to school once more!
thank you for all of your encouragement along the way!!

{by the way, will be spending my first summer here.}

Congratulations!!! As one of the people who stumbled across your beautiful blog during a google search, and kept coming back -- day after day -- I take a certain pride in this your victory :). Be brave and don't forget to blog!

By the way, Asheville, NC? My neck of the woods.....beautiful. Please take a trip to Flat Rock, NC and visit Carl Sandburg's house on a hill and pet his goats.

I've just spent a little while reading through your old posts... You have created a beautiful space here - I'm not surprised in the least bit that you were accepted, dear. Congratulations!

And I hope you'll enjoy your time Asheville... We lived there for three years (now live about an hour south from it - work reasons) and loved it. The Western North Carolina mountains are a beautiful, magical place. I think you'll like your time there. A perfect prelude to Vermont, I imagine (as I've never been to Vermont but hear it's beautiful, too).

Congrats again. And thanks for creating such a lovely space.
