First, visited your website and your work is awesome. I've been working with rocks a lot recently. haha
That sucks you'll be downsizing. I'm upgrading by going here! Before my school didn't give undergraduates studios, and so I was working out of my room or in the shared large studio. I am definitely excited about all the tools at our disposal.
We just had to drive our bird from Texas to SF and it was crazy -- she made it alright (for now), hopefully your cats do the same! Goodluck in your apartment search. I looked (physically) at the places around the school and they all were very nice, no idea on the pricing though.
Yeah, I'm currently living in Rockwall, which I don't really enjoy doing, especially since before I was living in Denton which I like to think of as Dallas's own little Austin. Petaluma Dr. is much closer to my parents than ridge road by like 5 minutes. Small world!
I'm pretty sure we're supposed to rank 5. I can't remember. The sheet we're supposed to mail to them says (which is weird, that we have to mail them a sheet, when they have online registration for everyone else?)
Ahhhhhhh don't even talk to me about loans. I'm scared shitless, no idea how I'm going to pay them back. I think by the time I get my MFA I'll have close to 80k in loans, federal and private.
Glad I met someone else going to this school before it starts. At least I won't be completely wading in a sea of loneliness.
