In short, the Dropkick Murphys are my new favourite band.
In long[er]:
Exactly one week ago I received a letter in the mail from Queens University of Charlotte. Queens is one of the places I applied to for the MFA program, so I was getting all excited about opening the envelope. The size of the envelope really should have been a clue. Inside was merely a letter stating that my application had been received, and would I be so kind as to send transcripts if I had not already, as well as the necessary letters of recommendation. But but but... I SENT all those, thought I, slightly disappointed. So I checked my calender and realized the letter had been sent roughly a week and a half prior. Probably immediately after my application reached them. In addition to that, they mentioned that it would take approximately eight weeks to reach a decision.
At least it wasn't bad news. It was just a gentle confirmation.
On Wednesday, one day after I received that letter in the mail, I received an email from Queens. I have been accepted into their MFA program! In addition, I have been accepted in both poetry and fiction. Both. Both. I don't know exactly what to think of this. It is extraordinary. I will now reveal that Queens was my top MFA program choice. And I am in!

I really don't think I could ever move back to the U.S., actually.
