Okay, I just heard: I've been offically accepted into NYU, with full funding through the Maccracken fellowship (that page is slightly out-of-date, as I'm getting a bit more, but it's the closest I could find).

Why is no one home so I can squee at them?!

And yes, I'm sure you're all getting tired of the constant updates about this, but... dude!

DUDE! It ain't SoCal, but it's almost as cool. *G* Conga-rats, hon!

*laughs* Well, nothing is as cool as SoCal, but if I have to take second-best...

Thank you!

Gah! I don't know! I don't know what I want! I'm just sort of overwhelmed at the moment.

But thank you! XD

We are not tired of hearing about this! And speaking for all of us in the Northeast: Yes! Yes!! New York! Congratulations!

Have you accepted them yet, or are you waiting for other offers and playing hard to get?

From: [identity profile] wordsofastory.livejournal.com
Hee. Thank you!

I'm still waiting to hear, I suppose; I haven't yet heard anything from UPenn, and though I know I got into Wisconsin, their funding is done on a separate schedule, and so I don't know anything about how I've done with that, though NYU wins about a million bonus points by simple virtue of being in, you know, New York and not a tiny city in Wisconsin.

At the moment I'm just in shock! I can't imagine making such a big decision; I keep thinking that six months ago I was sitting on a rock in Nevada and telling someone, "Yeah, I'm not really sure what I want to do. I guess I'll need to look up grad schools as soon as I get back to civilization" and now this!

Did I remember to tell you I got your card, by the way? Thank you so much!

How utterly fabulous -- congratulations! *tosses a handful of virtual confetti and offers mardi gras beads.

So, is NYU your first choice? Think you'll accept?

From: [identity profile] wordsofastory.livejournal.com
Thank you!

I have no idea! I feel too overwhelmed to make any choice yet. But the more I think about it, the more appealing it sounds; I mean, if I intend to work in academia, I won't have much control over where I live for most of my life- I'll have to go to whatever university hires me. So the chance to live in New York for five or six years, regardless of anything else, is incredibly tempting.

Congratulations.

And also, did you add me as a maintainer for [livejournal.com profile] muriya? I have been, and I'm somewhat confused by it.

From: [identity profile] wordsofastory.livejournal.com
Thanks!

No, I was just added as a maintainer myself a few hours ago, and I have no idea why. I'm not sure who the original maintainer is (or was).

Well, you and I and [livejournal.com profile] thedemonprist are listed now-- the info page also lists [livejournal.com profile] ryutsuki and [livejournal.com profile] catesith18 (defunct) as 'maintainers', though neither of them are listed as watching or being a member.

All very strange-- you'd think someone would ask first, you know?

Date: 2006-03-02 01:45 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] wordsofastory.livejournal.com
Hmm. Strange. I used to know [livejournal.com profile] catesith18, and she changed her username ages ago- probably over a year. Perhaps someone just decided to pass it on to anyone? I still don't know why we were picked; I don't think I've ever written Muraki/Oriya.

And I guess I don't mind, because it hardly looks like a high-maintenance community, but I can't help but think that if they'd just made a post about it, they'd have had some volunteers who wanted the community.

From: [personal profile] threewalls
Perhaps we could make a post about it on the community, offer to hand the community over to someone who wants it?

Date: 2006-03-02 02:00 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] wordsofastory.livejournal.com
That sounds good to me. Can you make the post, or should I?

From: [personal profile] threewalls
I'm kind of busy at the moment, so if you don't mind-- should we contact [livejournal.com profile] thedemonprist first, though?

Date: 2006-03-02 02:02 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] wordsofastory.livejournal.com
Ah, good point. I'll go ask her, and if she doesn't want it either, make the post.
