Woke up this morning with an interview invite from Parsons! Made sense to me that it got sent on a Monday morning, but it's still Sunday evening back there... Why would a school send out invites on a Sunday? Crazy world. In any case, hooray for interviews! It's really nice to feel like I might end up having options!

bitter end

Tonight I went to an Earth, Wind & Fire concert with some friends. It's the start of the weekend here in Dubai (because Friday is the holy day, Thursday night is like Friday night back in the Western World), so we were living it up. During the concert there was no 3G or wireless reception (I checked often), so I just danced and enjoyed myself with my friends (finally -- I've been a stressball over admissions for the last couple weeks, leaving my e-mail permanently up, constantly refreshing gradcafe on my phone). It was a lot of fun. The music was loud and live. There was a hard cider in my system. The company was good. No complaints. No thoughts of grad school. Just living in the moment. After the concert was over, we started walking back to the parking lot, and someone asks a question that I deem necessary to find an answer to online and pull out my phone. Trying to hit the Safari button I accidentally open my mailbox and it vibrates telling me I have new mail. Instead of telling them the name of the leader of the band on the Muppets (Dr. Teeth), I stammer, "I got into grad school!" My stomach still hasn't recovered yet from the excitement!

It's not for my art, but for my art writing: An unofficial acceptance into CCA's Visual & Critical Studies MA program! I'm still hoping for an acceptance into an MFA program somewhere (so I can make art, not JUST write about it), but if not, it's okay! I have an in! At this point - due to lack of contact about an interview that should have already happened by now - I'm assuming a rejection from CCA's MFA program, but whatevs. I'm still happy and excited and jittery right now. My head is full of, "They like me! They really like me!"

Oy with the waiting already. Congrats to those of you who are getting news today from schools! Hearing all of your good news puts me in a better and more hopeful mood. Keep raking them in, everyone!

Me too, re: CCA. They're my top choice and I've heard zilch. I'm trying not to feel completely dejected. But it's not over til it's over, right? Onward and upward, my friend!
