I found out tonight via awesome message on my home answering machine that I have been accepted to this PhD program with fellowship. They are flying me out at the end of the month to wine/dine/woo me. I haven’t heard back from anywhere else yet, so I can’t make a decision, but let me tell you that this program was one of my first choices, if not my absolute first choice. They have such a terrific record in early 20th Century stuff and a wonderful cooperative relationship w/the comp lit department. I am overjoyed to have been offered admission and will insist on everyone calling me Dr. Asshole instead of just "asshole" from now on.
That rocks, I am so happy for you, Dr. Asshole. That lady you talked about in your previous post is what I would call, well, I would type it but then the insult would lose half of its power, let me just say that she would be extremely displeased to hear that I was calling her whatever I was going to call her.
