Arg, letters of recommendation. Why can't I just get the internet to write me letters of recommendation. Look at what Bree wrote:

@annaoverseas Can I give you a blurb? "I just can't resist being friends with Anna! - Moira Rogers, writer of naughty werewolf romance"


See, that should totally get me in, right? right?

*sigh*

Off to write my adviser from my Honour's Year to ask her to please write me one even though she hasn't worked with me since. I only worked with Dr B and Dr T here so I have no one else. *sigh* I hope she's understanding. My backup is Dr. C but he's retired now and I know his family is being plagued by sickness so I don't want to bother him.

That recommendation would not only get my vote, it'd make me want a writer of naughty werewolf romance of my own to write me blurbs. ^_~

*hugs*

I really like Bree's stuff. If I hadn't blatantly abused the book I would lend it to you when you were down here, but ... um... I kinda read it in the tub and it's kinda waterlogged. /o\

I bet you thought I'd never see this. LOL

Don't you read in the tub? Doesn't everyone read in the tub? (I had EXTRA BATHS so I could justify reading something not academic, because I liked your book that much.)

I'll write you one too.

I had to do the "I'm sorry, I can only give one employers' reference as I've worked for the same company for the last twelve years."
Luckily they accepted a personal reference for the second one.

I hate finding references. As much as I like the one you have here, good luck finding one more relevant to your field.

Well, lucky for me all the profs I asked came through and said "Yes, of course, I think you are great."
