I'm guessing since it is 3 and I haven't heard from the mechanic, they haven't gotten to it yet. Sigh. I hate mondays.

Our wings are not tired

Try to find a grad school where you are getting paid to be there. That's how I did my MFA and it's really the way to do it. Taking on 50k in debt is the worry spot.

Dickipedia is fantastic!

Often described as an acting “powerhouse,” Sean Penn is known for his intensity and humorlessness. He has been a druggie, a delinquent, mentally-unhinged, and a retard. He has also played those characters in films.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Getting paid to go to grad school is always a good idea.

Yeah, that's what my brother has. It ain't a lot (for a family of 4) but...

Holy hell, I just got a glimpse of myself in the mirror. Apparently walking to work in the wind and rain means my hair is a total disaster. And has been all day. Nice.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Seriously. I can't be a secretary for much longer. Or I'll end up being a "See Also:" under Sean Penn's Dickipedia entry.

Hey strega. Where you been? I got a crappy xmas present for you.

Oo, awesome! And I have a thing for you that I can mail now that you'r'e back home. Maybe I will remember to do that tomorrow. ...Maybe.

I think I would follow megan walker's advice and try for a PhD program, even if you stop at the masters level.

I agree. The success that you have already had in this rapidly emerging new area makes you a good candidate for a funded position in a doctoral program. If you don't thrive there, you can always negotiate a terminal masters and leave without a big debt.

You might also check around for conveniently located programs with names likeTelecommunications or Communication and Culture or something like that, because they are often very similar to the kind of program you are looking at. There also are similar programs that are subspecialites within English departments.
