1Q84 Posted April 11, 2015 Posted April 11, 2015 (edited) Heading for Seattle this autumn Excitement ahoy! Amazing! A hearty congrats Edited April 11, 2015 by 1Q84
Metaellipses Posted April 11, 2015 Posted April 11, 2015 Just made it official-- attending UCLA this fall! So thankful for all the amazing people I met thru GC this year <3<3<3 You have to promise to keep in touch! (Ok, you don't have to promise, but I'd love to stay in touch). And I'm sure I'll see you at K'zoo or MLA in a year or so. Wishing you all the best! I had a lot of fun hanging out at visiting students weekend. margeryhemp 1
Katla Posted April 12, 2015 Posted April 12, 2015 I'm on my phone, so multi-quotes is sadly not an option but thanks all!!!! and WT, I've lived most of my life in notoriously rainy /windy places, I wouldn't have it any other way and I'll definitely make sure to explore the cities both north and south of there Windrainfireandbooks, thanks for the offer, I'll definitely take you up on that! windrainfireandbooks and Dr. Old Bill 2
Dr. Old Bill Posted April 12, 2015 Posted April 12, 2015 Awesome, Katla. Not sure if you're a used bookstore lover like I am, but Elliott Bay Book Company is a great used/new bookstore in downtown Seattle (close to the Space Needle, too). Plus you have the famous Powell's Books down in Portland, as well as my personal favorite used bookstore, Henderson's, two hours north in Bellingham. I've never found a bookstore remotely close to the quality of those three places on the east coast (save for Strand Books in NYC, but that goes without saying). windrainfireandbooks, Glasperlenspieler and Katla 3

Who doesn't love used bookstores, thanks for these suggestions. :wub: Can't wait to check them out!

greenmt Posted April 13, 2015 Posted April 13, 2015 I just officially accepted at UMD. Quite the grueling application season, and the last week, since I was accepted off the waitlist, I have been seriously distracted. I feel more like sleeping than celebrating. But, that said, a tiny hooray! is in order, no? 1Q84, jean-luc-gohard, margeryhemp and 9 others 12
