The future is scary
May. 26th, 2009 07:39 pmJustin 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!

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!!! ♥

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!
