(Um, when I said "What a thing"... no oozing tentacles were implied.)
Thank you so much, Teresa, Patrick, and the rest of the instructors and staff. What a thing.
And if you're curious about it, or you've been considering it for a while-- just go ahead and apply. I didn't think I was going to get in, either.
The instruction was brilliant, the crits were invaluable, but the thing that really sticks with me is the other students-- knowing that there are so many other (sweet, hilarious) people out there in the same place that I am is deeply heartening. And it's a real ego boost to look around at what your fellow students are writing. You can't help but think, "Hey, if they're so great, I must be great too, right?"
(Okay, or you might think, "This is all some hideous mistake! I am nowhere near this level! Surely my acceptance was a clerical error!" But after a few more hours of sleep things usually get better.)
If all else fails, write a story about eyeballs.
