lareinenoireI will be getting my PhD. Come Hell or high water.
Because today, I received not one, but *two* acceptances. One from University of Exeter, and the other from University of Reading (who, incidentally, rejected me two years ago). I am completely feeling the UK love.
And, to top it off, I've been accepted to the Disjunctions conference at UC Riverside in April, where I get to present a paper on Neil Gaiman.
(A paper I now need to write)
But hey, it's all good. Because I'm getting a PhD!

Yay! I wish I could be at UCR in april, but as it is, I'll most likely be at UCSC...what date is it and who's allowed to attend?
Congratulations again. And good luck with the paper :D

Date: 2006-02-07 05:23 pm (UTC)Thru work, I came across a paper from 2004 on how Gaiman portrayed Shakespeare in Sandman, so if you were touching on that aspect, I wanted to make sure you knew about this paper and had a copy for reference. (If you're interested nonetheless, let me know and I can email you the PDF)
[Re:Murder mysteries, keep in mind it's been published separately as a prose story and as a comic.]

"No more yielding than a dream": The Construction of Shakespeare in "The Sandman." by Annalisa Castaldo, in the Fall 2004 issue of College Literature (Vol. 31, Issue 4)
Hope you find it interesting, and possibly handy.

Date: 2006-02-07 12:43 pm (UTC)Do you have to make a decision yet, or will you wait to see if you have any more acceptances?
Well done again!
