icepixieOMG!
I appear to be awash with good news today and this week. The English MA program director at Boston College just gave me a call and said they'd accepted me into the program. Woot!
Apparently they won't have their funding worked out until the beginning of next month, so no promises there, which is unfortunate; however, he thought it was likely that I would get funding, so cross your fingers for me, eh?
Squeeee!
(...Karma is going to do something HORRIBLE to me soon, isn't it?)

Haha, yes. Especially after browsing through their "looking for roomates" board. OMG $800 A MONTH AFTER GETTING A ROOMATE??? *faints*
Also, I think I'll need to fend off karma with a stick after this.

Date: 2008-03-11 12:57 am (UTC)I meant to comment before on the apparent trend of calling accepted applicants--I still can't believe I got a phone call a year ago. It really threw me. Is this a common thing now?

But she is also of the awesome, though if you decide to go there, I hope you like snow!
Yeah, the snow is a big strike against it. But it seems like a wonderful city, and the program is awesome, so...
Is this a common thing now?
I really hope not, because I was completely blindsided by it and feel like I made a real idiot out of myself, not knowing what to say at first. I think I recovered by the end of the conversation, but I just wanted to say, "Can you hold on while I scream for a minute, then I'll get back to you and sound more sane?"
But they probably get the blithering idiot thing a lot if they do that to everyone, so I guess that's okay.
