Rejected by UCI

I have been rejected by UC Irvine's MFA program in Creative Writing. Funny thing is, I learned this through a recorded greeting on the answering machine of the department secretary, which said that all admittees had been contacted by telephone, and that the rest of us would receive our official rejection letters when the department got around to it. Way to go, alma mater.

My plan now is the same as it was: to write more, to write better things, and to seek publication diligently.
