Wishlist meme

brigdhOh, yeah, so I forgot to say this in my last post: I found out I've been accepted into one of the places where I applied to graduate school, so yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay.
I found this out when the professor I'd wanted to work with called me to let me know; the funny part is that I nearly didn't answer the phone. He came up as 'UNKNOWN' on my caller id, and I wasn't in the mood to talk to the telemarketer/wrong number I'd thought it was, but I rolled my eyes and answered anyway. So, uh, good thing!
That holiday wishlist meme:
1. Extra icon space. Once upon a time, three icons was enough. And then I got a paid account as a gift, and I found that I couldn't give up having fifteen. And now I need even more.
2. Personalized icons! Because I love them. I assume you all know my characters and fandoms.
3. Fic/fanart is always wonderful, and will get you lots and lots of love.
4. Music. Recs or mp3s or playlists: it's all good.
5. Book recommendations.
6. ...yeah, I can't come up with ten of these.
And randomly, I would appreciate it if going on break meant actually going on break, instead of just stopping classes in favor of working nearly thirty hours a week and trying to keep up with frantic emails and fellowships and whatever. I would like a few days in which to not do anything at all.

I couldn't find any information at all as to what sort of standards the schools were using to accept applicants, which meant that my plan to also have a safety school went nowhere, as I had no idea which schools were easier to get into than others. So while, objectively, I might be able to say that I probably have fairly good scores, I had no idea where I stood comparatively, and thus have been spending the last few weeks panicking over what happens next if I didn't get in anywhere. Heh.
But, uh, thank you!

Date: 2005-12-21 05:59 am (UTC)Not many details yet; I haven't got the letter yet (well, also it's probably been sent to my campus address), but he called me to let me know because he wants me to apply to this extra fellowship, and I need to write an essay (YAY MORE ESSAYS KILL ME NOW) and he wanted to read it before I sent it in, but he is leaving for Pakistan right after New Year's. So, uh, yeah. *laughs*
But thanks!
