Madison!

Without hesitancy or any coy slights-of-word, I'm going to Madison!

This is a decision made after a long process of pro's and con's, not to mention a long period of waiting to actually receive an offer. I was right on the lip of the waiting list for awhile now; yesterday I received the offer of admission and today, the officially deadline across the country for graduate programs, I accepted that offer.

Naturally, there are a multitude of complex motives and circumstances that influenced this choice. True, I only had a couple schools to consider (Boulder had some financial issues that, on the advice of an old professor, caused that option to be eliminated). However, I couldn't be more excited about this. The tally to the left has since been deleted and today is the last time you'll see the "Application" tag.

Oh, and perhaps now I'll finally be somewhere people will want to come visit (I'm looking at you two, SLC and JMD). I'm thinking of having Thanksgiving at my place next year, so to the gang in general, how's stuffed squash with a mango salsa, sassafras couscous with chickpeas, and sweet potato pie sound (don't worry, I'll stay away from the eggplant)?

In sum, good news all around. I'll be updating a bit more as the week progresses.
