The Giant Radio Lobes of Fornax A

The title of today's Astronomy Picture of the Day made me laugh and so I had to share. :)

Bhahahhaaa!

In other news, I've been accepted to Grad School! I got the final confirmation yesterday from the Department. So, yay! I feel silly now for freaking out a bit. LOL. Now, I'm just waiting for financial aid info.

This? Is going to put a dent into my plans for VVC, since school starts Monday, August 22. As of this moment, I'm still planning to attend, but this might change. I want to go! But, well, we'll see.

Everyone pray I'll figure out how to pay for school.

Congratulations on grad school -- yay! I do hope we still get to see you at VVC.

I'm going to do my best about VVC! Thank you. :)

whoo! Congratulations! I hope to see you at VVC.

[hafital.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

Yay for grad school! And I don't think freaking out is completely out of line; from what I can tell, freaking out at least once or twice about grad school is required. *g*

I hope you can still make VVC, even if not for as long as you'd hope.

Well, I'm freaking out now, so I guess I'm not done yet. LOL. Thanks!

Go you! Yay you!

*hee* Love your icon. :)

Congratulations! What are you going for the degree in, if you don't mind my asking? (If you do, well, pretend I stopped at 'Congratulations!')

[hafital.livejournal.com]

It's a writing program. :) Technically, a creative writing program, but officially I'm going for a Masters in Professional Writing -- but don't let that fool ya. heh.

Thanks for the congrats!

Um, I'm still happy for you, of course, but... waaaaaaaa!! You are not allowed not to come to VVC!!! *struggles manfully not to cry*

*pathetic noises and puppy eyes*

I think I'm still going! I hope. I just didn't realize it was literally the next day. And of course, I'm sort of freaking out about money, but what else is new? But the way I see it, the cost of the school is so astronomical that whether or not I go to VVC is really insignificant, in the long run.

I shouldn't have waited so long to apply. Now I'm running out of time to settle all this. I wasn't thinking.

*throws arms around you*

Huzzah for the Grad School acceptance! *crosses fingers for funding to come through*

Are you still planning to come up for Sail into the Sunset? I've got extra room in the hotel that you can join in for free due to a cancelation. Let me know if that's of interest, asap.

[hafital.livejournal.com]

Ack! Okay, can I get back to you tomorrow or wednesday? I really want to go, but I need to think about all this. Sometimes I just have to realize I can't do everything.

Thank you for the congrats! It's always amazing how fast life can change.

[linaelyn.livejournal.com]

I understand. Scheduling conflicts are teh bane of my life.


If you can get back to me by tomorrow before 3pm, that would be WONDERFUL. That's the deadline for the hotel room, though we always have the backup of staying with Bay Area Locals.

[hafital.livejournal.com]

Okay, I'll email you first thing after getting to work tomorrow. :)

[linaelyn.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much!

yay for grad school! *crosses fingers for vvc* *crosses more fingers for grad school funding*

[hafital.livejournal.com]

Yay! Thanks. I'm sure it will all figure itself out.

Congratulations!

[olympia-m.livejournal.com]

congratulations!!! :) :)

[falzalot.livejournal.com]

Wooot! Congrats!!

And of COURSE you can do VVC! You can fly home Sunday around 5:00 PM and still get back in LA by 9:00. That's PLENTY of time to actually think about what you wanna do for the first day of school. :-)

Yes, it's hard leaving during the dead-dog thang, but at least everybody is gathered in one place so you can say goodbye to all of them at the same time. :->

Congratulations! And wow, professional writing! Best of luck.
