The slate's wiped clean, my destiny decided.
M.A. in Literature, leading to community college teaching, allowing me to concentrate on teaching and using my free time to write.
The schools being applied to:
University of Florida
University of Arkansas
Oregon State University
Florida's a real crunch time, with a deadline of January 15th. Oregon State and Arkansas have much more breathing room, at February 1st and March 1st respectively.
Wish me luck!
