From the Penn State admissions server:
As of February 26, 2007, the Graduate School is pleased to grant you admission to graduate study at The Pennsylvania State University. A formal letter of admission is being sent to you in the mail.
I spent this past weekend touring the campus, visiting with current faculty and graduate students, and meandering around town. It gave an excellent impression--as, it would seem, did I. It's a magnificent program; it has a Civil War Era Center that is virtually a department within a department--twelve faculty, a huge number for ACW-era studies.
I've come a long way from when the departmental secretary at __________ asked me if my application was some kind of joke.
State College has two game stores, from what I can tell; oddly enough, they're across the street from each other, and have virtually the same (kind of thin) line of games for sale. I'm not sure how that works out. Introducing myself, I bought a game from one and a comic book (a Krazy Kat volume) from the other. Gotta establish connections, y'know.
