The Dateable Dork

Dating (mis)adventures of an unexpectedly sexy New Yorker

  • About Me

    I’m a 30-year-old (!!!), single, charming, and totally dorky girl taking on the ridiculous New York dating scene. When guys are surprised to see a sex kitten emerge from behind my dorky exterior, I just smile and reply, “Who ever said that dorks can’t be sexy?" [More]

My first big acceptance package came in the mail today

22 Feb 2010

Everything all of a sudden seems so REAL now that I’m holding the 100% official — signed by the dean of the graduate school – acceptance letter and fellowship offer in my hands.  On university letterhead.  In a nice shiny folder.  With dollar signs and a little box to check “accept” and give them my social security number and sign up for direct deposit.  And health care enrollment info.  And housing info.  And a big fat welcome and congrats from all the various heads of departments and committees.  DUDE, I am SO loving this.  I almost squealed out loud when I saw the big fat envelope in the mail today!  Looking back, I don’t know why I didn’t, actually. 

Let’s see… how many more days before I can quit my job and sign on the dotted line???  : )

So exciting!!!!
