GRAD SCHOOL!!!

I talked to the Department Chair at CSUS yesterday, and she assured me that IF I have to drop because I can't afford the fees, it will not affect my ability to be admitted in a later semester. So I went ahead and accepted the admission.

Which means that as of now, anyway, I am an official Classified student en route to my Master's Degree in Literature. Woohoo!

Now I have two more hurdles:

1. The class I really ought to take this next semester, Methods and Materials of Literary Research (a required course they urge you to take in the first semester), is only offered on Thursday from 4:30-5:45. This is fine, except that on the first Thursday of every month I have a mandatory-by-contract staff meeting. So I'll need to talk to my new Administrator, when I find out who that is, and see if we can't work something out. Barring that I'll have to take another class this semester
and hopefully be able to muddle through.

2. Paying for it. That's possibly not a problem; if I have to take a student loan for just this year, and then not for later years, that'd be great. It'd be better if I came into some money, so I'm going to get some papers notarized today and, hopefully, my long-dead father will be helping me out with this. That'd be kind of poetic
