This is the beginning of what will hopefully be many posts as I prepare to reapply to graduate PhD programs in English Literature this fall.

But for these first two weeks my goal is simply to acclimate to the medium, this novel telegraphy. Telegraphy (from Greek: tele τηλε “far”, and graphein γραφειν “writing”) is the long-distance transmission of messages without the physical exchange of an object bearing the message.
