More of That Bloomington Talk

Okay, I know at some point that I am going to begin to sound like a broken record, but I found out more information about IU Bloomington's Creative Writing program and the fact that it is still available.

I went to http://www.indiana.edu/~mfawrite/ and was really excited with what I found.

Apparently there are two versions of the Creative Writing program: the 30-credit-hour M.A. program, or the 60-credit-hour M.F.A. program for students who want to become professional writers or want to teach Creative Writing (I will assume that I fit into this category since I want to do both, haha).

Ohhh man, I want so badly to get into that program; I cannot even BEGIN to explain the drive I'm feeling for it. It is such a crazy ambition to want to be a writer and be able to teach Creative Writing (specifically at the high school level).

I think what is making me so antsy about the whole thing is another page about the program, http://iub.edu/~mfawrite/about, which tells all about the program and their reasoning behind it. I think one of the hardest things about the program, though, will be being received into it. Six students are received into the fiction department and six into the poetry department each year; that's some heavy competition, but hopefully I will be talented enough to make it in.

Anyway, that's enough of my rambling for now. I think I'm going to read up on their requirements and see where I think I stand for now. Will be back again soon, will hopefully have something more to talk about than Bloomington then, haha.
