I’m having a heart attack!

I just found out I’m accepted to the The New School’s MFA creative non-fiction program!

They’re blessing me with a two-year merit scholarship!

*!*!*!*

My head is melting! I can’t stop galloping around the apartment, now that I’ve stopped happy-crying and hyperventilating.

That is freaking AMAZING news! Congratulations, my dear. I am so happy for you. I know how happy this makes you. You deserve it. I could not be more proud.

Cheers, mia!

I’m glad you know, because I still can’t express how happy this makes me! Thank you, thank you!

This has been my big stealthy dream for a year now, and months and months of blood and tears are paying off.

It feels so good! Shiny happy people holding hands.

I just registered for classes, paid, got my ID, schedule, events… I already have reading to do! Dostoevsky’s Demons and Joseph Conrad’s Under Western Eyes.

Also got stuff in a totebag with “The New School” logo on it. woo hoo! (nerd alert)

“Life changes in the instant.” (but not always in that sad Didion way!)
