I've been accepted into the University of Missouri School of Journalism's graduate program.  Life is good.

I'm particularly happy because a) it's the best j-school in the country, sort of the journalism equivalent of Harvard Law; b) the program is perfect for me; and c) I never got around to making a plan B.

The only thing that could now torpedo it is a failure to line up sufficient financing, but most people say that shouldn't be much of a problem. 

Once again, thanks for all the encouragement you gave me here.  Means a lot, especially coming from people I respect so much.
