So I just got an email in my inbox today informing me, after 2 months of agonizing wait, that I got into the University of Texas at Arlington's masters program in biology. Considering that the American Association of Herpetologists and Ichthyologists has this particular institution on their "You want to go here" list, I am sickeningly pleased with myself.
Go me!

Congrats and Good for you!
As my mother says: Find a job you truly love and you'll never work a day in your life.
Looks like you found it. Enjoy!

There is a really good chance that I am seriously fucked up. But don't worry....I like me that way.

Man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much: the wheel, New York, wars while all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in water having a good time.
But the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man for precisely the same reasons

Many congratulations and happy returns, though the depths of grad school may seem to negate them!
