Not technically grad school related, but I wrote up a short piece (1 page) to submit to the university lit rag. The topic for this volume was Dreams and the Subconscious, so I figured it was worth a shot... and I really need to start getting some stuff published, so there you go.
I have no idea of my chances of getting it accepted, though my personality is such that I have a natural pessimism... but we'll see.
I just know I'll probably chain-smoking from nervousness from now until the volume comes out.
