I got into next semester's fiction class! I got in, I got in, I got in! *dances all around the room* This is the fiction equivalent of this semester's poetry class, so yeah, pretty difficult to get into. It's the one I was agonizing over last week. WHEEEE!!!

In other news, we did the ballroom workshops for the entire campus today. (Our 18th president is getting inagurated tomorrow, so this weekend is devoted to festivities. This afternoon was "Hands On Knox County," where everybody did some sort of presentation-type thing, taught a class, or whatever.) We taught Samba and Salsa for the inagural ball tomorrow night, to which everyone, including students, is invited. I was a little wary of teaching Samba, since it's the hardest Latin dance and second hardest ballroom dance, period (International Foxtrot is the hardest...but it's so much fun!), but it worked out really quite well. Most people seemed to get everything. And professors came! Sergei, the head of the English department, stayed for the entire two hours. It was great.
And then Whtiney, Chandra, Ellen, Meg and I just had a dress-up session for the inagural ball. I'm gonna just wear my old prom dress, I think (it's the one I wore to SC2K2), since it's elegant, but not long enough to make me feel weird dancing latin. There's going to be an Afro-Cuban jazz band, so they'll be playing mostly cha-cha, merengue, salsa, samba, etc. The band sounds really cool, actually...they're a twelve-piece group, with flutes and trombones and things. I'm very excited about the whole thing.

And I totally called that. I knew you'd get in. You're too good not to. :)
Awww. Yeah, I remember you saying I'd get in. I was somewhat less convinced, but I'm very glad you were right... ;)
Just out of curiosity, which story did you end up submitting?
I submitted the ghost one. I just reposted it with some changes (it's not as pretentious-English-major sounding, for one) in my most recent entry.

But I am very pleased you got in. You deserve it.
I submitted the ghost one.
Yay!! I love that one. And see? You even got in with a fantasy piece. Go you!

Very true! I was shocked. But in a good way.
