“Congratulations! You have been admitted into the English (MA) program for the 2010 Fall term.”

With that, it begins.  And also with that, a question arises:  “Now what?”

All the work I put in trying to get accepted has paid off.  But the real work has yet to begin.  I’ve never been in a traditional university environment (unless you count checking out the young coeds as I drive past ASU on my way to Chuck Box).  I don’t even know where to start.  But if I’m anything, I’m resourceful. 

I’ll probably have a lot to say about grad school here in the future.  Keep yer squinties peeled.

If anyone out there has been to graduate school and has any advice, either general or specifically related to funding, please post it here as a comment!  I would appreciate it very much.

I have applied to the graduate program in Linguistics at Arizona State University.  They have all of my application materials, and now I’m waiting to see what happens next.  I’ll keep you all apprised!
