As far as IU, I have both good and bad news. We will start with the bad: No financial aid news yet. I have no idea what the university will offer me, if anything, for the upcoming fall semester. I would think something, but we shall see. Now for the good news: I have a place to live in Bloomington! You may be thinking.. yes, that is good, but how do you know if you can afford it if you haven't received financial aid info yet? Well...good question. So good of a question that I am not sure of that answer yet. However, I honestly think everything will be fine. The place I found (with 2 other roommates) is more expensive than I had in mind, but it is also very convenient to the journalism school--saving me gas $$.
And just to think in a little over a month, I will be preparing to start graduate school. It really is a scary proposition, emersing yourself in a completely new environment for at least the next year. But it will also be a great opportunity--an opportunity that I will make sure to embrace! I hope to take advantage of IU's reputation of great travel opportunities for students. I would love to travel and report on news stories in different cities, perhaps even abroad. But time will tell.
As for now, I have been working on editing my query letters/articles (from my feature writing class) to submit to a few different publications. I hope to have a couple of them sent to the magazines by the end of this month, if possible. I'm sure I can get it done, though.. the letters are just about finished. As usual, any input is welcome, though. :-)
As for everyone else, hope you are all having a wonderful summer and are enjoying the beautiful weather. Well.. let's not kid ourselves. This means once a month for you Cincinnati people ;-).
