For those of you that I'm not FB friends with here is some news that has been simmering away since August 2015
Changes are afoot for 2016. I have just said "yes" by email to 12-18 months further study. I still have to formally accept the offer when it comes in.
My grade average was one grade too low for direct entry to the Masters in Disability & Inclusion Studies which I knew was a possibility but I have been offered entry into the Postgraduate Diploma instead with minimum grades of B/B+ from my first semester required so that I can go up to the Masters. The papers to begin are exactly the same so I initially wouldn't miss out on anything. To do this I'll be commuting down to Hamilton twice a week as I didn't get into student accomodation. As I only live an hour and a half away and only have classes twice a week, to me financially its the better option especially if I get $1 bus fares each way. Truth be told, the length & for the most part the timing of my commute and how I did uni in my last semester is roughly how I will be doing the PG Dip/Masters - at uni twice a week but staying there all day to use resources etc.
I know this goes against almost everything most of my family would want (they would want me working) so this is a journey I'll pretty much be taking on my own. I admit it, at times I'm scared and worried about whether I'm doing the right thing but I need to stay focussed about the end goal - CANADA!
