Wow, those people at Dartmouth are quick. I just found out that I got accepted into their MCB (molecular cell biology) program. This means I'm definitely going to graduate school, one way or another. Now Dartmouth is in no way the last of my choices. Their faculty to grad student ratio is great (about 1:2) and the research is top notch, but I'm just going to wait a little bit so see what the other schools say before I send any replies back.
Actually I'm still quite shocked at the fast response time. My interviews must have went pretty well. Or maybe it was the fact that I wasn't competing against the thirty or so other applicants who were dead set on getting into the immunology department. In any case, I'm breathing a huge sigh of relief. All I need to do now is concentrate on surviving the next ten weeks before getting my bachelor's degree.
On a completely different note, I also haven't forgotten the crazy project I'm starting on April 1st. The problem, though, is that I haven't made any progress in the plot. I don't know who my protagonists are, where it's going to take place, or what will happen. That's why I'm currently scouring the net in a vain attempt to find real life angst that will inspire me. But one thing's for sure. This novel is going to have a happy ending, even if half the characters I end up introducing get killed off.
Awesome linkage: Snippets. Another cool way to find some excellent blogs (via Sasha). LEGO Builder. Bring on the square plastic! I must have been a construction worker or architect in a previous life.
