Summer Update
So we have another theater day scheduled, this time we're going to see John Ford's "'Tis Pity She's a Whore". With a name like that you can't go wrong, eh? Plus, it's in English! hahahaha I am seriously considering graduate schools for a PhD now, too many people telling me I have the ability. Ability doesn't come with money or time though, so I'm not really sure how possible it is right now. I'll be applying to UC Santa Cruz and UC San Diego. UCSD will require a move, but it also carries the likelihood of them paying my way through school. UCSC is closer, but the teeny tiny size of their English graduate department is so small there is only a 1% chance I will get in. But that's what college is all about, right? Waiting for those acceptance letters. Anyway, I sent my GRE scores to both UCSD and UCSC plus SJSU (and Stanford, but I don't really have the $40,000/year required for seven years of school there), so I may as well get things together to apply to them all too. It only costs around $60 to apply to each, I just have to get a lot of papers (20 page writing sample, 3 letters of recommendation, 1 statement of intent) together by December. If I get accepted to any... is there really any excuse to not go? So I'm trying to just not get my hopes up, because while I may be good enough for Santa Cruz, their tiny program will not likely have room for me. On the other hand, while the logistics of San Diego may seem to prevent me from going... if I get accepted and get a free ride (likely), why would I NOT find a way to go there? Do I just deny myself a PhD because the education is in San Diego (which happens to be the most beautiful place in the world to live)? Lots to think about, but I'm not going to dwell because I have months to go before everything is due in, and again, likelihood is... well, we'll see.
