masterofmidgetsOh my god. Oh my god. Guys. I just found out that I got into a Levinthal Tutorial for next quarter. THIS IS SO FUCKING AWESOME.
Have I ever mentioned the Levinthal program here? I totally have never mentioned it, have I? Well! For those of you who aren't English majors at Stanford (ie everyone but![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
aestheticized *waves*), the Levinthal tutorial is kind of the high point of the undergrad creative writing program - students who get into the program spend all of winter quarter working one on one with a CW graduate fellow (and the Stegner Fellowship is legitimately awesome in its own right - Robert Pinsky was a Stegner. Tobias Wolff. Raymond Carver. Ken Kesey. Lots of awesome here, is my point!) on a self-directed creative project. It's really intense, and also really competitive; most years there are ten slots open each for poetry and prose tutorials. Getting my application together was a somewhat crazy process of completely rewriting one of my older stories at the last minute and then sitting there anxiously for the next month waiting to hear whether or not I made the cut.
But I guess it paid off, because I did and now I'm doing a Levinthal! And this is not a very coherent entry, but I'm basically sitting here in a daze going OMG I GOT IN!!! so this is what you get. GUYS THIS IS GOING TO BE SO AMAZING.
