sigersonToday was Open House at Harvard Div School!
I met several people, including one I REALLYREAAAAALLLYREALLY want to study with, and didn't make a fool of myself! I audited a couple of classes, decided some more about what I like and don't in class discussion, and spent a little time in the library to cool my head.
Heard some tough-love stuff about going for a PhD. It takes about six to seven years; it will require both French and German, as well as any language of concentration; its purpose is to train scholars and teachers, not to be something you pick up on the way to being a novelist or a filmmaker or a lawyer. I can take it. Oh, and Harvard admits about eight every year. That could be harder.
Community Tea featured a fun woman named Annie, another named Hillary, some more professors, and an award from the Mexican government to a professor, David Carrasco. And Corona.
I think I'm gonna like it here...
