For the past two nights, I have become incredibly exhausted after my math tutorial sessions with Godfrey. (And I assure you, nothing more exciting than geometry is happening.) I have crashed into a deep sleep after each one, and we're talking 9 pm here! Another symptom of math anxiety? The area of a triangle is 1/2 base x height, by the way.

I have to get back to work (EngineerFest and Power Point never sleep, apparently) but I talked to two English department graduate coordinators this morning. One was extra nice; the other was almost as nice, but, better than that, she assured me that I am not older then the traditional applicant. That made me feel better, since I read earlier this morning in "Getting What You Came For, The Smart Student's Guide to Earning a Master's or Ph.D" that "most English departments would be unlikely to take someone who was applying ten years after receiving a bachelor's degree." She said that was wrong. Let's hear it for misinformation being corrected! Now to call my alma mater and see if there's any alumni love happening there.
