News from A Broad

March 11th, 2010

Official word arrived yesterday…

I have been accepted to the dual Masters program of Archival and Library/Information Sciences at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver. (No word yet from the University of Washington. Impatient toe-tapping has gotten me nowhere on that one.)

My celebration was brief because soon my brain (oh, poor beleaguered and diseased brain!) was throwing at me all manner of anxiety-inducing scenarios: study visa! moving trucks! tuition! housing! But I’m sure that piece of it isn’t surprising to anyone here. My brain just DOES THAT.

Regardless, the point is….I got in to grad school! Priority #1: obtain the perfect pair of librarian-esque spectacles.

    Congratulations! UBC is gorgeous. If you get into UW, though, (good choice, by the way!) and decide to come here, drop me a line–I know some people in the Library Sciences program and I’d/they’d be happy to show you around! Showing off Seattle makes me happy.
    Good luck!

    Congrats-you rock! I’m sure you’ll look amazing in those specs too :) If you go to UBC, don’t worry about a thing, as you well know, we Canadians are a friendly people :)
