- GRE - taken and survived (67th% on the math after having not done algebra in seven years. come at me.)*
- Professors have agreed to write letters of recommendation
- Revising an old paper for my writing sample and beginning to face the horrifying spectre of statements of purpose.
Trying to snag myself a spot in an MA + PhD track in Rhetoric and Composition to study language and exclusivity and how that translates into the classroom. I have a year of writing center experience, a semester of a TAship in Intro to Lit, and I recently learned that a paper I published in my school's research journal** has made it onto Pinterest. If that's not a good omen, I don't know what is.
I'm looking at UMASS Amherst, Pitt, OSU, UMD, Northeastern, Northwestern, Oregon, Austin, Nebraska, Carnegie Mellon. It's going to be a fun year, it seems.*** Best of luck to all of you. I believe in you!
*I have absolutely no idea how that happened.
**how's that for a prestigious publication, eh?
***how do you know I'm getting excited for graduate school? Even my forum posts have footnotes.
