Almost done with Michigan, if I can just get my transcript from McGill soon. (broods, whines)

Almost done with Iowa, if I can just get my manuscript revised and in the mail. (Goal: to do this Friday. Maaaaybe I can get enough revision done tonight?)

I can do this If universities and Canada Post and USPS come through for me I can do this. And then I'll have, like, A WHOLE DAY to myself.

Have very belatedly realized that I want to apply for Iowa State's program on creative writing and environment. (There's a lot I write that's at least tangentially environmental: the science project in Ramblewood Underground, the bees in "The Delicate Work of Bees," the apocalypse in "The Wolf-Girls at Blue Creek.")

However, they want 5-10 pages of expository writing, and the deadline's Jan. 5th, so it seems like a tight squeeze if I want to do it...
