School days!
I went to my first quilting class tonight. I think it's going to be very cool. The woman teaching it is cool, too, although I must admit she reminded me of an older woman who's slightly kooky.
If she is, that's fine with me, because she does know what she's talking about. I asked Florette if I could borrow two overhead projectors for this class. Turns out I didn't have the right stuff to project anyway. Ha ha. I will ask Florette again one day, but not today. That's just crazy.
In other school news, one of the schools called me to ask if I'd consider going into a part time program. Instantly I wanted to say, "No way, no way." Instead, I said, "Um, I'm not really prepared to give you an answer right now. I have your email, right? I'll think about it and give you an answer later today."
I called the people who helped me write my essay and they thought, as I did and do think, that part time work isn't much fun. If I were a full time grad student, I would go to school for two years with the summers "off".
If I were a part time grad student, I would go to school for three and a half years and have my summers taken up with classes.
If I'm going to be a student, I want to have time off in the summer, even if it means I'm working. Working is way easier than school. At least work gets over with. (I know many of you are grumbling that it isn't true, that work never ends. I won't argue with you, although I know I'm right, but in my experience, even the shittiest job is better than school because you don't have any homework.)
So I should know the scoop next Friday, if I'm a student or not. And until then, I will work on my quilt.
