it's a full moon.

i'm wide awake. go figure. can't concentrate to save my life though. meh. i need a vacation.

(no subject)

spent some time catching up with an old friend; it's difficult to notice when something just slowly fades away over several years. glad to finally be fighting back, though.

so money's gonna be a little tight for a while, what with evil government demands and SG being out of a job as of next week. meh. life sucks, but we'll get by. we always do.

(it's amazing how much i can sound like my father some days. i don't know whether to be pleased or disturbed. i think i'll settle for a little of both.)

i took another look at my grad studies possibilities...

apparently, i was mistaken. it's not Calgary that i want; it's UBC. except that the idea of living in Vancouver doesn't sit right with me. there was something right about doing grad studies in Alberta, something like a feeling of homecoming. i looked on it as a challenge. Vancouver, on the other hand, is the complete unknown. i'll definately have to visit first; no sense going there if i can't stand the city. but the Calgary program is too focused on literature; U of Toronto has an interesting program, but exorbitant prices; McMaster doesn't look all that special. which leaves UBC, which seems to have a great, affordable program, with multidisciplinary options and a wide range of study, but... but. *frown* this will bear some more thought.
