@sabergirl that's so rad, I am happy for you! My county paid me back for mine too, the only way I would ever have done it. Such a rad focus you were able to choose to, as is your career.

@Oaktavia I just started my MFA program yesterday! I may be naive, but I'm loving it so far and I'm really looking forward to the whole program.

@Oaktavia thank you! If I’m feeling brave, I might share some of my work later on.

@seawolf what field is your MFA in? I finished a master's in Creative Writing a couple of years ago. I haven't done anything with it yet, though.
Wow! Congrats! Where did you do your MFA? Mine will be in Furniture Design and Woodworking. My university also has a robust teacher training program, so if all goes well, I'll get to teach my own class by my second semester, and continue to do that throughout the program. The end goal is to teach, so I should be very well equipped by the end of these three (yes three!) years.

@seawolf I studied at the University of Sydney, but it was all remote due to the Pandemic. The only time I was on campus was for graduation.
Furniture making sounds interesting. I'm looking forward to seeing what you produce. And, yeah, I can imagine it's a lot of work.

@seawolf I didn't find studying remotely that difficult, but it was tricky fitting it around work.
The course material wasn't too challenging, except for a unit on genre theory. But writing itself can be very difficult, and I can understand why George R.R. Martin has struggled to finish books.

@Oaktavia Mine will be largely hands-on. I'm taking a really interesting History and Critique of Art and Design from 1950-present class, but the real work starts this morning when I meet with my studio professor to find out what I'll be doing in the wood shop this semester.

@seawolf that sounds like a great way to do it. Looking forward to hearing how it goes for you.
@sabergirl before the pandemic, I was mostly doing my work at my desk in my classroom. Working and schooling at the same time can be super time consuming. It'll be totally worth it when you get that piece of paper in the mail!
