O, College!

I just went online to my academic stats page and found the last two degree audits that I ran. They were created on 5/19/06 at 3:16AM. I don't remember this exactly but I can just picture myself up at 3AM two days before graduation running my last degree audits "just to be sure." College, I love you.

Great Success!

In my inbox, when I got back from lunch:

Dear Marisa,

It gives us great pleasure to inform you that your paper, proposed for X Conference of People Who Are Way Smarter Than You, has been accepted. (!)


Now, with a bachelors degree from a state school, I get to go talk to a bunch of Serious Scholars about what I didn't like about a Very Popular Book (Jhumpa Lahiri's The Namesake, if you have any pearls of wisdom to impart). I'm so excited, I'm so excited, I'm so...scared.
