Musing about master's degrees...

[electricland]

OK, so should I head for a master's in planning, I have once again missed the deadline for most schools (York being the happy exception... although my dad, who once taught there, has been making negative muttering noises about their faculty for some time now. But their program looks v. self-guided and cool. OTOH, do I need something self-guided? I know very little about this field).

Cities I'd quite like to be in, left to right:

Vancouver - UBC
Toronto - U of T, York
Kingston (maybe... well, it's closer to Toronto than I am now anyway) - Queen's
Montreal - McGill (quite miss McGill) -- plus U de M has one if I were feeling adventurous enough to start a degree in another language, which I'm not especially
Halifax - Dal

There are others near Toronto, such as Waterloo. But I dunno. There's one in Calgary too, but I've been to Calgary.

Ponder, ponder.

On the whole, probably best to focus my efforts on those that claim they only care about your final year GPA, since my GPA from the penultimate year really does not bear thinking about.

The thought of digging up academic references is grim and terrifying... still, as I was saying to crankygrrl, I can't have alienated all my profs, can I?

AVOID QUEENS. AT ALL COSTS. But then, as many of you know, I have unequivocal feelings on the matter. *SHUDDER* My year at Queens. . . .

Vancouver is nice . . . . . hint. hint. *G* Does UVic have a planning program? But then again, you like big cities, so Vic may be a tad small for your tastes. though it more than makes up for its size, IMNSHO.

ON another note: one lamb on the ground. It's twin died though :(. Too cold out, we guess. I haven't seen it yet -- my cold meant I didn't know about anything till it was long over with. :( gonna go out and see it soon though. Apparently a tiny little ewe. very cute.

Anyhow, best of luck with the planning (hee, hee. I love double entendre!).

TTYS,
