Very Exciting News

I'm really excited because I was having a really bad day -- I didn't have my morning coffee, I'm tired, I've got lots due in terms of homework tomorrow, my cat scratched me, and I forgot my lunch at home.  BUT when I got home (after spending the afternoon with a friend) on the counter was an envelope from the only college I applied to; MassART in Massachusetts.  

I GOT IN!
I'm really stoked because they were my first pick and because they have Gender Inclusive Housing which is one of the best things I could have asked for in a school.  I had applied and I emailed them practically to death about being a transgender and what I'd do dorm-wise.  They emailed me back right away and gave me several options:

-Move into the Female dorm
-Move into the Male dorm
-Move into a solitary dorm
-Gender Inclusive Housing

I immediately responded asking about the Gender Inclusive Housing they have there and they told me that all I have to do is apply for it.  So, this week I'm going to write my statement for why I'd like to be in Gender Inclusive Housing and hopefully get into there.  

I also really like this because it means that society is moving forwards in terms of non-conforming/traditional genders (male and female) and people are realizing that gender deviants like me need housing too.  And although it's kind of 'labeling' us because they're grouping us together outside of the regular male and female dorms, I'm honestly just excited that they have a place for people like me to feel safe.  

More great news is that I am in the process of ordering all new clothes (male of course) and it's really alien the first time you wear men's pants.

I wore them a day ago and you put them on and your first thought is "How do I wear these"  because they space between the crotch and the waist band is so much bigger and then you slouch them and suddenly understand why guys hate wearing skinny jeans because then the seam is between your thighs and you run like a duck even if it's just an inch or so down between your thighs.

It was much different than wearing women's skinny jeans.  I was very much out of my element.

AND THE POCKETS.  You can put nearly your entire arm into your front pockets; how great is that.  

Thank you all for reading! As always, if you have questions feel free to shoot them over to morwinslow@gmail.com and I'll see you guys next week!
