I am made of win!

Wrote my Statement of Purpose today. Hooray! This means I may actually finish my grad school applications.

(I wasn't seriously worried that I wouldn't. But it was getting to be a near thing.)

I'm definitely applying to Yale and IU, because they have the best programs for American history between 1880 and 1920, with a focus on women's history, and women artists, and literature and imagination and fairyland and the Uplifting Power of Nature (tm) and, well, everything. I am so in love with this whole time period that I want to know EVERYTHING ABOUT IT EVER.

Probably there will be a third application - I've narrowed it down to three possibles - but I'm not thinking about it until I get the big two done.

As a side project, I've been reading/rereading the American Girl books. I'm starting with the new Rebecca series. It's set in 1914! It's about a Jewish girl! From Russia! Who loves movies! She even reads Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm, oh my God oh my God oh my God! (I should write a post about Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm.) It's like they designed this series for me!

Also, holy smokes, I write a lot of posts about books. Maybe I should diversify a bit.

You can never have too many posts about books!

Good luck with grad school!

Agreed: never too many posts about books!

This is true. The world needs more book posts!

Yay grad school applications (well, the application process isn't very yay-ful, but yay for chomping through it), and fingers crossed for both!

I'm hopeful!

You are made of win. This a fact.

Why would you write less about books? Book are also made of win. Although I could stand more of your cookie/scone recipes. ;)

Is it possible that you secretly are an American Girl doll? I mean, you are tiny and adorable.

I did once consider writing a fictionalized version of my life as an American Girl of the 1990s story.

Oh my god, and I even have the long American Girl hair.

YOU MAY BE ON TO SOMETHING.

Oh!!!! My friend finally posted her notes on her (sadly now abandonded) American Girl re-read project!
