some non-news:

i just found out why i haven't received my rejection letters for my MA applications yet - because i haven't technically been rejected! i've been waitlisted for at least two programs, but still haven't heard a peep from the third. i don't want this getting my hopes up - because i was told i'm eighth on the list of almost-rejects and ( Read more... )
