Completely Personal Post

I got in to Carnegie Mellon's graduate program, for either an M.A. in Philosophy or an M.S. in Logic, Computation, and Methodology.

I AM SO HAPPY.

You guys, you have no idea. I've been crying on and off with my parents for the past 2-3 hours.

I applied last year to 10 different PhD programs, got into none of them, and was basically ready to throw myself off a cliff. Then I restarted the application process this year, and already got rejected from UNC, and waitlisted for Brown.

But tonight I got an e-mail from Carnegie Mellon - my number two choice out of ten schools - informing me that I had my pick of the programs I wanted to join, 50% funding, a TA stipend if I was interested, and I should get on up there March 28th for a meet-and-greet.

I'm just... I'm so beside myself with happiness right now, you guys. I keep bursting into tears because I'm just so damn happy.

I'm sorry. I just need to shout my happiness from the rooftops, and LJ is my rooftop, so... :P

*does happy dance* This is so exciting!!! =D

Also how is your cold? You seemed pretty miserable earlier...

I am still totally sick, and my throat still feels like it wants to leave my body, and there is mucus EVERYONE due to the combo of crying+cold...

BUT NONE OF IT MATTERS ANYMORE.
(Plus I just pounded some alka-seltzer PM, so I should be off in happy cold-medicine land soon :P)

If you can find one a neti pot is great for the mucus even if it is disgusting XD

Congrats! I've been looking at PhD programs for a few years, and it's tough work just to look at and apply to programs. Well done! P.S. Love, love, love Gwil's story, it's just so darn cute!
