I received my first major information packet from iSchool in the mail today :-) It has all kinds of interesting tidbits, not the least of which is that I must register and pay for one class (LIS 500 - The Life Cycle of Information) by July 25th -- apparently this class is technically part of their second summer term. I also get to provide a short bio that will be included in this year's cohort directory (distance students who are starting this year). I would love to create something really humorous but I'm just not a funny writer... well, I'll come up with something, I suppose! I will need to include a high-res digital photo as well though there are no other specs provided (er, how big do you want it??)
The best news (as far as I'm concerned!) is that their Engineering/iSchool Writing Center will be made available to writing help online. Yay! I've been a bit worried about my ability to write at a "graduate school" level (my GRE writing score sure wasn't all that high :P) and I plan on using this resource, alot!
I'm still awaiting on financial aid info as well as my student id which I'll need to get signed up on the iSchool network and take care of a number of other items before the on-campus orientation starts in August.
Still, it's nice to feel like things are moving along!
