charloweenTwo awesome pieces of mail today:
1. I-Man season one DVDs. Hell yeah! Screw you, VHS rips. The quality isn't tops, and they totally cheaped out on the packaging, but hey: I'm digging it. Bring on s2!
2. A letter from the grad faculty at York, letting me know that they've sent my name as an alternate for the SSHRC CGS grant (we're talking $17,500). This means I'll only get it if someone else who's been offered it decides not to take it, but it's better than being rejected outright. (I'm looking at you, Commonwealth Scholarship and Mackenzie King awards.) It's also not tenable outside of Canada, which means it's no use to me if I want to Glasgow. Still. It's better than being rejected outright.
I call it a win.
An awesome email today, too: I get to sit on a committee that decides who the school is going to nominate for a prestigious national undergraduate scholarship for second-years. The irony is totally not lost on me. I keep applying to stuff and get denied, and now I get to be one of the people doing the selecting. If nothing else, I'll get a better idea of how to write a winning scholarship app.

What a beautiful day/ I'm the King of All Time/ And nothing is impossible/ In my all-powerful mind

Date: 2008-03-27 12:53 am (UTC)Right! So we are supposed to have pizza. What if we were to have... a party? I want to have one on the 18th, before Passover, in keeping with our (my?) tradition of Jewish holiday drinking parties. Gotta get rid of all that leavened... beer... y'know.
