And now I have a great feeling because I HAVE A FOUR YEAR FELLOWSHIP FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION.
That's right, my friends, I am a newly-named Jacob K. Javits Fellow, and my tuition, fees, and living stipend will be paid for by YOU, the taxpayers of our great nation, for the next four years.
Did I mention how much that rocks? With the California budget in such a sorry state of affairs, it is such a relief to know for absolutely, positively certain that I have funding until I finish my dissertation.
Rock.
In other news, I got my hair cut today! I finally bit the bullet and went super short. I think it's a pretty good Berkeley grad student haircut, don't you?
Ok, there are too many boys rough-housing in this room and I can't concentrate anymore, so I have to go!

I've always wanted Peg to get her
hair cut like that. I got a new
haircut too but I look more like
a man. Oh well, I try.
Much love,
Gma and gpa

Excellent, excellent, awesome news!!! CONGRATULATIONS!! WOW. Just wow. I'm gonna have to go look up that up now so I can be as impressed as I am proud and happy. Big smootch and a great big hug.
