Now, some good (K)atholic news

At least I think they are...yeah, they are.

I finally got word from the KUL (Katholieke Universiteit Leuven). I have been officially accepted to the PhD program in Cultural Anthro. Yikes. Funny butterflies, sporadic mini panic attacks, mostly happy. Somehow an idea I had been flirting with materialized (or rather "virtualized" because the letters arrived by email via Nivelles) into actually becoming a student again. Yikes again. Many people have encouraged me to do this. It's nice to now I have a great net of family and friends to support me (sounds like I am going to walk across Africa, I know, but it feels a bit like that to me.)

This will be my longest formal commitment to something. We'll see how it goes.

Congratulations Ale!!!! I'll send you a reply to your e-mail soon. Getting into Grad school (for you for the 2nd time) is so exciting... almost as exciting as being in the right program in the right field. And I know you are...

Congratulation Hermanita!
But I think that you should be very serious and stay in Belgium for a while.... To go often to KUL... but mostly for me to see you more often :-)!

First step taken, Sandrinita :) will be there in Oct. for the first doctoral seminar, so at least 1 week in Bxl. Maybe later I will manage more time.
