I just started working on a new play which incorporates a lot of Spanish, so I'm really excited about the project and I'm brushing up on my Spanish! I'm also going to go see the new Miyazaki movie tonight. Just trying not to think about the wait

Congrats wrighter!!! That's great news!!!

Buh

I haven't heard anything no, not from Yale. Got a nice response to my Smith email late tonight though! So that was cool! Also I started working on a new play!

No news Monday I take it?

I just sent Smith an absolutely gushing email lord help me. Can I hide under a rock until this is over?

Ok you guys I am such a DINGUS. I just called Northwestern to talk to Yolanda Hare and I straight up asked her if they had notified finalists already because I have no ability for subtlety. She was polite in her response. Apparently they began notifying people in March but they continue to do so until May or when they have a full class of twelve. You guys. What is WRONG with me? Anyway. I also called Smith and almost cried because of how helpful they were. So calming about the whole process and very willing to chat about details. I'm going to email Len and Andrea and just try to convey to them how much I am in LOVE with Smith. I'll probably freak out and compare it to Hogwarts and end up destitute or something but regardless. Also, they vary year to year how many students they take since it's such a small program and they don't advertise for it at all. I'm like, 'pick me Monty!!!!!' I would just nestle myself in the gardens and write forever and never stop. GOD I CANNOT HANDLE THIS YOU GUYS I'M FALLING APART.

Also, despite all of our anxieties- isn't it still kind of early in the process?

Also, if anyone knows more about smith I would love some more info. I'm going to call them tomorrow for sure. Has anyone heard anything from northwestern?

Lavender, it sounds like you had a much more put together application than me. I've applied to seven schools at this point just hopping and praying that this year is it. It is my first year applying, true but I'm so ready to be in grad school surrounded by everything theater and time to write. I also love that most of the programs have built in writing contests, little write offs etc. I have yet to hear from Yale myself. Maybe a nice note is coming? Ha who knows. It would be lovely to know a little more than I do now. This waiting in the dark is awful. Kind of crushing. I recently saw Ruhl's vibrator play and it was easily one of the best things I've seen in a while. I was also lucky enough to do sound design for a production of Wilder's Skin of Our Teeth recently and that was a real treat. I may never get sick of Thornton Wilder.

Yeah I think it's odd most art programs don't wave them. Most say the writing sample is most important

I checked my Yale app and didn't see anything, but I know what's coming. Sorry MCW!

Better to go through it with other people though. Rather than sitting in silence waiting for letters ha!

Does anyone have info about Arizona state? I just applied

Has anyone heard from North Western yet? I may have missed it...

You guys we were so brave to apply! Also, I'm not out yet: still waiting on smith and Ohio and haven't heard from cmu( though thinking I'm out if they've done interviews) and haven't heard from northwestern yet either. Has anyone else?

Nothing from Yale here, thanks nick. But hey- they take three out of two hundred and brown takes two so... Maybe life goes on?

I have a feeling... Not yet!

For the positive attitudes

I love you guys. Whoever you are!

Fair enough. I'm on the east coast and we've had loads of snow

That's so cool, best of luck!

Just applied for Ohio State as well... here's hoping!

Also, congrats!

Ah ok. About when? How did you hear?
