Decisions, Decisions

I recieved an acceptance letter from Brock tonight, including a scholarship. I have rather mixed feelings about this. It's exciting and all, but I've truly got my heart set on going to Redeemer, seeing as I'm made of money and all. I feel honoured to have gotten in, but ... I don't know. My emotions all are hay-wire right now.

Good for you, Maria! Did you get any scholarship offers from Redeemer? Do you know if there are transfer options--if you come to Redeemer, could you transfer to Brock if you regretted the decision? You should talk to a few people who have gone to Brock and experienced the English program there. Since I've been doing all my core first I haven't really got into the meat of the Redeemer English program, but so far it's been good...I guess it depends what you'd like to do with your degree. What WOULD you like to do with your degree?

To be quite honest, Joel, I haven't actually finished my application for Redeemer yet. I am a pathetic procrastinator. I hope to finish it either this weekend, or during the March Break. But Brock has nothing that really draws me to it, I just added it on my application because you pay for three applications, whether you just use one or all three. And Brock is too far away from home. As to what I would like to do with my degree, I don't even know. I'd like to get a PhD someday and be the third Dr. Geertsema in the family. Definately not a teacher though, I lack the patience with which to deal with people. Maybe a high-end editor, so that I can live in my little house on the east coast ... I don't know.

wait till after DR to make such important decisions, when your emotions are back to normal. Just a suggestion from a friend:)
