(Lord. Thanks to Margosita for not being totally offended by my ageism.)<BR/><BR/>And waaait a minute, cheap maple syrup? Is there still time to change my decision back to Vermont?deonnehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11507714492188577969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1664775245527943341.post-51034756328718305922008-03-26T15:59:00.000-04:002008-03-26T15:59:00.000-04:00If there was a school of Writing and Taxidermy, I would <I>so</I> apply.<BR/><BR/>Congratulations on your acceptance! Vermont is a terrific program, but in my mind, there are few things to regret about an affordable, full-time program in New York. Sure, Vermont might have cheap maple syrup and no billboard advertising, but we have everything else. ;]<BR/><BR/>Plus, even if you're going to class everyday (although I think most course loads are three days/week), you're spending those hours refining your craft and talking to fellow writers and professors. That still leaves so much time to work, write even more, and enjoy the city. ...God, I can't wait to start.mfaorbusthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08678692482390681321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1664775245527943341.post-35557574437358822192008-03-26T15:58:00.000-04:002008-03-26T15:58:00.000-04:00I found your blog from the Speakeasy. I like it!

I think that a full time program will just help more, which is why it's what I'm hoping for next year. <BR/>Good luck and congrats!!michellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09849287845323243066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1664775245527943341.post-52325883547105008412008-03-26T11:22:00.000-04:002008-03-26T11:22:00.000-04:00Congratulations!<BR/><BR/>I faced the same low res vs. full res decision and also went full -- I want the immersion and connection to a writing community, and I want something more than a distance-learning + occasional residency program would offer.<BR/><BR/>Although I wonder about those pesky classes, too. As long as I don't get stuck in a Shakespeare seminar I should be ok.Alexhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16420716275835031859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1664775245527943341.post-67873918140450516592008-03-26T11:20:00.000-04:002008-03-26T11:20:00.000-04:00I'm excited for you that the decision is finally made.
