5. Two Words: Congratulations - Admitted.


I recently revealed that I had applied to California College of the Art's MBA in Design Strategy Program. As soon as I hit publish on that post I broke into a cold sweat fearing that follow up post I'd eventually have to write revealing that I didn't get in. But luckily...

5. Two Words: Congratulations - Admitted.
I will happily admit that I've been obsessively checking my application status daily since the day I submitted it. And everyday I convinced myself that would be the day, well, until Tuesday. Tuesday I was distracted and checked out of habit. Lo and behold...something changed. Woo hoo! I will officially be a grad student this fall.

I know that doesn't sound that exciting, but I've been planning on going back to school since my Junior year in college (and that would be 10+ years ago..egad). I've looked into many programs and have talked about applying ad nauseum, but this was the first one that I truly felt fit. And I can't wait!

Oh, and that Project H meeting...super inspiring! I have a meeting next week and I'll let you know how it goes.



In the meantime, did you see Emily's super cute apartment on Apartment Therapy today? I'm kind of obsessed with the photos. I think they might just be my best ones yet.


Ten Things That Make Me Happy:

9. Japanese Kid Playing the Ukulele.
8. Jonathan Adler Helix Rug.
7. The PS22 Chorus.
6. Typography.

  1. Ohhh, i got accepted to that school back when it was called California College of Arts and Crafts! I LOVED it, went to visit and everything; but even with the scholarship they gave me, I couldn't afford going there by a long shot. Biggest regret of my life! Congrats, congrats!

  9. I'm so happy for you! Congratulations. :) I've always wanted to go to grad school too, since college, but it feels indulgent to me since I have no career to speak of...guess I need to figure that all out. Love the house tour and the photos are gorgeous! I took my Noodle to SF yesterday, it was one of those dreamy days in the city.
