No longer pretending to be a grad student

I have been accepted to my grad school program in urban and regional planning at the University of Minnesota! I'm really excited and can't wait to start. I even enjoyed the orientation that they offered last week, even though it was billed as a session all about OneStop and how to register (topics so ingrained in my soul from actually being involved with setting up the course schedule so people could actually register).

Pretending to be a grad student

I'm enrolling in urban and regional planning courses this fall as a non-degree-seeking student. Yes. I didn't get into the Master's program at the U of MN's Humphrey Institute for Fall 2008. I am optimistic. Instead of emailing me and telling me exactly no and don't bother us again, the director emailed me and told me that the committee encourages me to take a few courses and if I'm successful, I should reapply. She also explained that they are keeping my application open, and will not have to fully reapply for next year.

So I'm definitely going to take PA 5211 Land Use Planning. It meets before work and the course guide description is really exciting.
