I spent Labor Day weekend in Decatur/Atlanta at the Decatur book festival-went to some great readings (Poetry at Java Monkey, galleries, Charis, Gay in the South reading). I also went to the Civil Rights photojournalism exhibit at the High Museum-if you're in the area, definitely go for it. I also got a membership form for the Atlanta Writers' Club-I need a fresh pair of eyes to look at the short story I'm working on.
I wish I could move back;going to Decatur, it was like slipping into a normal routine.
Okay-I did apply at a library down there (fingers crossed).
Right now, I'm considering applying to Masters of Library Science Programs as well:
UT Austin
UNC-Chapel Hill
UCLA
UChicago Urbana Champaign

So I've added two new schools to the grad list:
Boston University
NYU
I like these because I'll be able to do grad work not just in writing but literature as well (I did this for my BA). Boston also has "teaching at the college level courses"-I enjoy writing on a personal level, but would rather teach lit courses. BU also has Agni-a good lit journal. Cons-no non-fiction (the grad site actually says they aren't and have never been interested in creative non-fiction).
Still on the list:
Emerson (I like that their MA programs combine writing and technical (creating layouts, etc) courses.
Columbia (MA Journalism) The program appeals to me and I'd be able to utilize the wealth of academic resources in the city.
UIowa - Has fiction and doesn't leave non-fiction by the roadside. Cons- It's in Iowa.
Ha! You've got to be joking right?
I still can't get over the price for Medill (Northwestern-$58k)
More music

I saw Batman last night. It was excellent and I'll definitely see it again.
Edit:
It's about time for a good zot around here.

Currently, I'm working on personal statements for grad school. I'm going to see the Dark Knight tomorrow and hopefully get to see a band sometime this weekend.
OT: I think I'm watching an inordinate amount of gay porn

In Columbia. I'll be heading back to Charlotte in a week or so.
I really want to buy a bike.
