I got the answer I've been expecting. The one I really wanted.

I'm happy to inform you that you have been accepted into the MA programme in English at the University of Victoria.

In addition to the opportunity to study in a vibrant intellectual atmosphere and with some of the leading scholars working in Canada today, I can offer you a Fellowship ( Read more... )

I've got an unequivocal rejection from Cornell. Not that it matters, since I decided I did not want to go to an American school anymore. Too much trouble, too many risks for my relationship. BC, even though farther than Ithaca, is still simpler and more flexible for moving and working and being together ( Read more... )

I wasn't expecting Concordia to be the first answer to grad school I would have. But, here it is:

I haven't slept for a month because of these... maybe tonight I'll finally get the rest I need?

I've been suffering from insomia these past few weeks.. from just a few hours to no sleep at all. Even the Imovane have stopped working properly now. My shrink says that when I send out my grad school applications, sleep will come back normally. I hope. I'm so exhausted.
