icepixieAlas, of the ten or so (I believe) students Vanderbilt accepted to its English doctoral program, I was not one of them.
...I can't say as that surprises me. In fact, had I not received a rejection e-mail, I might have fainted. And then fainted again once I revived. Ah, well, better luck with the rest of them!
(Also, 5-hour meeting OF DOOM today. My brain is officially fried. And part two is next month. Ugh...)

Ahh, but now the hope-powder will be made into compost to fertilize future hopes. It's the circle of

UC says this week sometime (eeeeeeek) [1]. Minnesota and Iowa both say decisions will be made "once [my] file has been reviewed," which is SO HELPFUL.
