grad school and christmas, of course
I have my 3 letter of recommendation professors lined up. Phew. Columbia sent out e-mails saying their online application is ready. And it's $20 cheaper than the paper application. Another phew. Now I only have to pay $420 to apply to schools, and that's including a fee-waived one. It's nice to see examples of our elitist society at work.
Tomorrow I have the responsibility of taking 2 editors and a few grad students out to drinks and appetizers on the Creative Nonfiction dollar. For most people this would be a great opportunity/fun. Too bad I'm socially awkward. Look for me under the table.
In other news, Walnut St., my street of employment, is decked out in Christmas stuff. Not just store merchandise-- the city put up lights and garland and bows. It's glorious. I've been listening to Christmas music for a good two weeks now. Bring on the cheer and consumerism.
