Two grad school related updates to report tonight: 1. Out of the four schools I applied to, I have been accepted to three. Not only that, but I’ve qualified for some pretty nice fellowships at all three (above and beyond the standard grad student stipend), which makes me feel pretty damn awesome. Yay me! I [...]
