Hey all, I was also admitted to the program at CU. Just wanted to give any waitlisters a heads up--this morning I sent an email to Paul Youngquist declining admission. It ripped my heart out a little because I really liked Colorado, but it just wasn't a perfect fit . But, hopefully this means an acceptance for somebody else who deserves it, dammit! Good luck!

This is awesome news. Thanks for emailing! I'm a scaredy-cat about those things and would not have had the gumption.

Hey Madisonians, Looks like this has been a topic of discussion already--but under the heading of non-auto transportation--it seems like Madison is very bikeable and pretty walkable, but how extensive and convenient is the bus system? I'm (likely) moving there over the summer but my partner and I share a car and prefer not to drive it if we have other options. I'm particularly interested in the bus system because I'm terrified of riding my bike in the bitter, bitter cold. Ah!

I'm also hoping for a separate timeline. Fingers crossed for you! Aaaand some encouragement for the teachery side of things! This tumblr is sometimes not heteronormative and weirdly makes me feel better when teaching demoralizes me: http://heygirlteacher.tumblr.com/.
