This conversation did no go as I ‘hoped’ it would. I wanted Christy to talk shit about people who talk shit about MFA programs, but instead she just talked shit about MFA programs. She is hard to control, I admit.

Enjoy, I guess:

me: what should we talk about next?

Chris: hmm

  i dont know/

me: mfa programs?

  poeple who make fun of mfa programs?

Chris: that sounds good

  or programs that pretend to be mfa programs but arent

  like my program

  that now has an mfa program

me: ?

  oh right

  they faked you out

Chris: haha ya

  fake out!

me: fake out!

  now give us your moeny

  again

Chris: lots of it

me: all of it

The situation at her university is this: she is enrolled in an MA program in creative writing, but the university has just started an MFA program very recently. I believe the MA program is in the continuing education department or something and requires less credits in order to complete the degree.

So, what do people think? Comment on stuff or something: talk shit about the MFA or talk shit about the shit-talkers. Complain about how boring such a discussion really is. Post recipes. I don’t know. Don’t do anything.
