letters.

Dear Summer, It’s official — I miss you. What is this working during the summer nonsense I have gotten myself into? At any rate, do not fear my love, for I will soon possess you again.

Dear Dad, Thanks for thinking I am brave.

Dear MFA Programs, What is the reason for requesting the submission of my application packet by early December? I won’t be in the US until March, and I don’t want to take classes until August. It just seems a little soon, that’s all I’m saying (also, please let me in).

Dear Harry Potter, Look, I will readily admit that you have become decidedly less obnoxious now that I am reading The Half-Blood Prince. I just have two favors to ask: stop being a selfish prat, and decease the copious caps-locking. Thanks.

Dear DSLR, I am taking you on a walk this week. Let’s take pictures.

    Oh Summer! That’s one of the things I miss most about home. Summer in London right now is grey, and very very wet. Not the traditional summer I expected at all! Love your sweet little letters, hey. They’re adorable! :)

    Re: MFA programs – YES. I hate application deadlines. (Mainly because a lot of times I find a school I like and only have like 1 month to apply or I just missed the deadline.) Some schools have Nov 1 deadlines. It’s insane. But if they offer funding, schools have to go through TONS of applications & samples. Have you read the MFA blog? http://creative-writing-mfa-handbook.blogspot.com/ I follow it every so often, but mainly it’s a lot of people talking about the application process.

    Re: Harry Potter – oh goodness the capslock. I remember that.

    Also: Your tattoo looks amazing. :)

    Summer is definitely being missed this side of the world as well. It’s all about the rainy days now. *sigh!* And I admit… I have never read any Harry Potter books, although I truly love the movies. Maybe someday I will read the books, as everyone else says they’re better :)

    I’m super annoyed by how early grad programs want you to apply as well. The deadline is Dec. 1 for something I’m not going to attend until August? Really, guys?! REALLY?!
