life is full of options and i'm at a point where i'm glad i have some!
i have applied to two schools for my MFA in creative writing. one is in Maine and the other is in Connecticut. they are both low residency programs (don't worry--i'm not moving to the NE). the application deadlines just passed and now i'm waiting to hear. i'm not the most patient person in the world, so this is very hard. i think the school in CT is my top choice, but I'll be just as happy with my 2nd choice.
today i got a letter from Sam Houston State University. i was supposed to start there in the fall of 2008 working toward a masters in reading. my plan was then to get my doctorate in reading and teach at the college level. i was unable to start because i didn't have the money and a few other things got in the way. the letter was from the dean of the department asking why i hadn't started in the fall and that if i was still interested that i could start this coming fall in 2009. so there is one more option to further my education, if the MFA plan doesn't pan out for me.
it just amazes me that so many doors can open for a person at one time and all i have to do is make a choice--that's what life is all about--the choices that we have before us.
