So today I had a performance planning meeting, and my boss said "Ever consider doing a Masters?" Which I have, and now am again, except the question is always "what in?" Because grad school is, as I know from observation, a lot of work and stress*, and I don't want to spend that amount of time on something I'm not passionate about. There are areas that interest me, and I have to admit the extra letters after my name would be nice (perils of working in an academic environment -- three-quarters of my colleagues are doctors of something or other and loads of the rest have masters'). But but but.

I did poke about a bit looking for potential programs at U of T and Ryerson. There's some interesting stuff out there that I've no idea if I'm qualified for; some of them even offer part-time programs. And I could look into distance learning, although I'm not sure that's a great idea for me. Of course this is completely the wrong time of year to be making plans (unless I want to get a really amazing jump on 2008).

I also looked again at the rollercoaster craziness that is my McGill transcript. For programs that want to see a B average or higher in my last year of undergrad, I'm golden. For the last TWO years, not so much. It is, at this distance, almost amusing. Almost.

*and if you get in it's even worse!

Heeeey, isn't that weird horrible roller-coaster effect totally what we bonded over the first time we met?

Well, that and girl's school. Big ups to the Hella Jump On 2008 team! We can add it to the Beaches Spinster Shirt Collection.
