Lauren Clark, doctoral student.
As some of you may not yet know (I have no idea who I am referring to here, because I don’t know who reads this pathetic excuse for a blog, mainly because I never effin’ update), I am going to North Carolina State University in the fall. I got accepted into the Communication, Rhetoric and Digital Media PhD program, and I went to their recruitment visit a few weeks ago. I am so happy I did, too, because I still wasn’t sure what I wanted to do (with regard to my acceptance at Penn State, as well) but going to visit NCSU completely sealed the deal; the faculty and the students are nothing short of amazing. Raleigh is adorable; it’s like the most quaint big city ever. And they have Bojangles’. NOMTOWN EXPRESS.
Anyway, so, the other day I was on the NCSU website to see if I had the ability to claim an email address, and I stumbled upon this:
I find it a) epically awesome that I am already on their website, and b) even more epically awesome that, once I graduate in 5 weeks (FIVE WEEKS!) I will officially be a doctoral student. (Right, isn’t that how it works? I remember the last day of classes my Junior year of high school, when my friends and I left campus and were yelling, “We’re Seniors!!” I don’t know if it’s legitimate, but I guess once you are not what you used to be, you are what you will become. Or something. Or maybe I have no idea what I’m talking about.)
As my mom wrote in a Facebook message to me, “the world will have tiny, curly-haired Dr. Lauren Clark in a few years!”
