I'm Done!!!!

Just learned yesterday that I have satisfied all of the requirements for my masters program. I cannot stress enough how much of a relief this is; my last class was very difficult and I just knew that I would not pass and would have to wait until Spring semester 2015 to complete my degree (that's when the class I needed to finish would have been

WOO HOO!!!! Congratulations, bb!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <3

THANK YOU!!!! I am feeling a bit discombobulated due to phantom homework pains; I'm certain there is a paper I should be writing or a hundred pages in one night I should be reading, but...nope. Done with that, at least, until August of next year, if some Creative Writing program accepts me. How about you? Where are you on your grad school journey?

You're doing Creative Writing? Oh that's awesome!!!!!!!!! What programs are you considering??

My preliminary examinations are at the end of the month; I have the written exams on the 23rd and the oral defense on the 30th. I wrote a rough draft of my prospectus I can't make my mind up about--no idea if it's brilliant or bullshit--and I'm waiting to make my mind up before give it to my chair. So I am stressed and addled and going back and forth between being zen and panicked.

Wow, you're already defending your thesis?? It seems you only started your program last year! I'm sure it doesn't feel like you've just started to you, however. How do you even prepare for your defense?!? How exciting!

I'd really like to travel across the pond to get my MFA; I figure why not live abroad while I'm single and childfree?? Once I get my ish together I'll be applying to the programs at Lancaster University, Kingston University, and University of London: Queen Mary School. I will also apply to programs closer to home (Chicago) and they most likely will be at DePaul University and Northwestern University. Of course this all depends on when I can get myself out of this weird "OMG, I'm done with school, I just want to sit on my couch and veg" mood I've been in for the last two weeks.

If your prospectus is anything like your lj posts, I'm sure it's brilliant; you're an insightful, thoughtful, intelligent woman and there is no way your work wouldn't reflect that. You'll slay 'em during your defense!

Yay! Well done you! \o/

[anutty1]

Awww, thank you!!! How are you doing? I haven't read one of your awesome stories in awhile; now that I have this thing called free time, I can remedy that!

[janice_lester]

I haven't WRITTEN one of my allegedly-awesome stories in AGES, alas. Writing is starting to feel like something I used to do. :-( But otherwise all's well.
