Justin got accepted into school today!  He's leaving in August.  ;___; 

I'm not really too thrilled about York and the response I got from them.  I didn't really mind them just redirecting me to a stupid webpage and giving me fluff answers so much.  It was the large offensive blue font that really turned me off.  I'm looking at U of T and they look like a better option.  I only need 3 courses in English (check!).  But the intermediate/senior option requires two teaching areas which I don't have (FUCKING Asian Studies!  You are so useless!) but the junior/intermediate only requires one.  I actually really like being in junior high school.  There's always room to move up to high school once I get my degree and some experience.  They also don't require an interview (at least from what I've skimmed) which would be sweet.  I have kind of stopped caring about that for the moment; if they aren't even interested in me, it won't matter.  I think I have everything for UBC, unless they've changed things.

I always forget that university applications cost money.  Shit.  It's going to cost me like 300$ to apply to 3 programs.  York's application is due at the end of November, U of T is due December 1st and UBC is sometime in February.  I think applications will all be available around the same time, in September.  Which is only 3 months away!  Sigh~  I'm getting anxious just thinking about this.

I am going to have to pilfer the school's resources and print off information.  I need to figure out how much this is going to cost and start seriously saving.  Or figure out how much of a loan I'm going to have to ask for.  Honestly, I would rather go to U of T over York.  If I had to stay in Ontario, that is.  York just doesn't impress me at all and U of T has the prestiege.  I should hope by the time you're doing your second degree, the snobbery has worn off.

It's only barely June.  There's time.

I think my eggs are cooled off.  Time for egg salad sandwiches!

Applying is the WORST. Everything that's involved in it, like making sure you have every little thing they ask for, writing up your CV, sometimes writing essays and things too, UGH, the whole thing is just so stressful. Then they make you pay for all the suffering you go through!! DDD:

I don't know much about Bachelor's of Educations from those schools, but don't get sucked in by U of T's prestige! Well I'm sure you're aware of this already but lots of schools are prestigious in a certain field and not at all in others, but because of that well-known field the whole school gets a good reputation. Of course I'm sure Toronto is a great school, though! I mean, it should be, right? @___@

This is exciting news though! Best of luck with all your applications!!! ♥

I know. It's going to cost me at least $350. Applications are out in September and due the end of the year so I'll have lots of time to work on them... I need to see if I have a copy of my resume around somewhere so I can update it.

I don't think it really matters so much anymore about "prestige". Especially when it comes to something like Education when there are all these things set out by the ministry; it's pretty standardized. York would be better because it's only a 30 minute drive from my house but they are such ASSHOLES and I really hate their campus. It's so ugly!
