Yeah, Natasha wrote me rec letters and nonsuch. Her dad is a sweetheart, I'm excited to work with him. Good luck at UCF! It'll be warmer down there at least! (And yes, the funding situation at Hollins sucks. I was lucky enough to get a full tuition waiver and a full stipend, but they don't offer that to many people)Jeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01721717255965945309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4915103519858814671.post-72375051111586716482009-04-09T07:08:00.000+09:002009-04-09T07:08:00.000+09:00hahahah to david's comment. i'm excited, the best is yet to come deary!Nellyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11551539021234622551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4915103519858814671.post-15622368148990398482009-04-09T01:23:00.000+09:002009-04-09T01:23:00.000+09:00hey, alex, thanks for the love! those commenters are brutal.Acreehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12827549716667921489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4915103519858814671.post-62716394571459914792009-04-08T16:59:00.000+09:002009-04-08T16:59:00.000+09:00I'll assume from your previous comment that you got funding at UCF. Bravo! Having to borrow thousands of dollars for a humanities degree is, as the Germans say, "a hard piece of bread."ThePlochhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05418322941584202629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4915103519858814671.post-22835647828049062412009-04-07T13:46:00.000+09:002009-04-07T13:46:00.000+09:00Hey Jes,<BR/><BR/>Crazy. I was THIS CLOSE to going to Hollins as well (for Creative Nonfiction). However, the situation at the University of Central Florida looks like it's going to work better for me, so that's where I'm heading! (I got into Hollins off the waiting list, so I think that's one of the reasons my funding was subpar). Hollins is a stellar program - have you talked to Natasha Trethewey? Pretty awesome to follow in her footsteps. Good luck!Alex Pollackhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15571578922615334437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4915103519858814671.post-5202597833622282382009-04-07T11:45:00.000+09:002009-04-07T11:45:00.000+09:00What program are you going to?
