Grad School

So, I am officially a grad student. I was accepted as a non-degree seeking student at Iowa State. I didn't realize this however, since they forgot to include my student ID and number in the acceptance letter they mailed to me. However, upon calling the graduate program at ISU, I was put in touch with a very nice lady, who promptly gave me all that information. It was perhaps the quickest and most informative call ever made to a beauracracy. She not only informed me of my ID and password, but that I had an advisor. I haven't had an advisor for four years; it's a new concept. Thus with my newly provided ID, password and advisor, I was able to register for classes, there being only one class for which I was eligible. Therefore, I am now a proud student in the "Teaching Creative Writing" summer course. Taught by "Pitt." No, not Brad, someone with the first initial "S" - I have no idea who they are, just that they are teaching my course.

I will keep you updated on the progress of my new academic adventures.
