dazedandbemused Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Congrats! If you don't mind me asking, what's your subfield? Thanks! My subfield is Transatlantic 19th Century female writers and Queer Theory, although for the dropdown menu on the Texas app I put Women, Gender, and Sexuality.

dazedandbemused Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 (edited) Congratulations! You can probably safely remove that first line of your signature now! Ha, you're totally right! I will go do that now. Edited February 11, 2013 by dazedandbemused Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imogene Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 I'm going to put one foot in here, because I've just learnt that I am waitlisted at Pittsburgh's English+Film Studies program. I've almost 8-9 programs to hear back from, but goodness, this is my first bit of good news this season, and I dearly hope it will convert. Congrats, Swagato! I know you really wanted this one, so good luck! And, of course, congrats to Dazedand! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazedandbemused Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Oh my god, congratulations!!! Thanks. I can't believe you still haven't heard anything. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for so many people on here right now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two Espressos Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 (edited) Holy moly guys, my dreams just came true. I'm in at UT Austin! Wow, congrats! UT Austin, beyond being a great program scholastically, apparently has great camaraderie. There are several grad cafe members from last season there too.

antecedent Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Holy moly guys, my dreams just came true. I'm in at UT Austin! When I was in the English department, this was my number one goal (you can check the UT Austin and other threads from last year if you've forgotten ). I may have migrated to the linguistics department, but I can still say congratu-fucking-lations, that is an awesome program and you are going to have such an incredible time there. The cohort from GC last year was amazing...you'll have to go pet Fiona Thunderpaws' cat and give Marlowe a high five for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cougarstigers! Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 hi pals! new here, but have been watching! question one: do any of you know what the funding situation is at austin? seems like it's all teaching? i would worry that this might skew time away from genuinely developing course content, like at some of the places that also offer fellowship years? thoughts? similar question for berkeley -- anybody know if it's the same funding package for all people, or if folks still get individualized packages? girl without glasses -- holy cow, your gradschool area interests sound similar to mine! don't know how to PM on here, but i'd love to hear more about the work you hope to do! congratulations to everyone as this all goes on! good luck riding thru this storm-of-a-week; and thanks to all for being so candid & funny throughout! it's really been saving me! xo!

Datatape Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 I just got the baby in the king cake. This has to be a sign of more good things to come. And it's certainly a better sign than last year, when my fellow tutors and I got the leftovers of the king cake in the Writing Center and was told the baby was still to be found, then we couldn't find the baby and went a little crazy and started stabbing the king cake with knives and screaming "Where's the baby? Where's the baby?! WHERE'S THE BAAAAAABYYYYYYYYY?!" We didn't have many students come in to get their papers looked at that day. :/ patientagony, discoheat, beet-nik and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since then I've had my first acceptance to an international conference which is in my field and it just feels like a big deal for an undergrad. My co-workers have decorated my desk and I have my baby on display, so treat him right and he'll do you good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
