Last Month's Updates - Education Updates
Mood: Overwhelmed!!!
So let's talk about school (I know, blah, blah...).
1) It turns out the U of C has much lower requirements for their Bachelor's of Nursing (Advanced Track) than the U of A. It would appears I have been given Early Admissions to their Advanced Track (provided I do not fail the correspondence course I am currently taking)
2) Some chick from the Planned Giving Committee phoned me up the other day to "confirm my attendance to the Black Tie Lumina Event". First of all, I didn't know I was invited; secondly, who the hell is the "Planned Giving Committee"?!? It would appear the U of C is trying to raise funds for their various programs and the dean of the new vet school has asked me to come and represent the student body... err, I didn't know I was a member of the student body, I didn't know we could even apply (btw, we can't - this lady's on speed). Anyways, apparently I am to show up at this Black Tie Event, schmooze with crazy big wigs (and maybe their crazy cute sons) and help the newVet School
3) I have my WCVM (the U of Saskatoon school) has invited me up for an interview on April 11. I dunno, we'll just have to see what happens from here - I really want in this year, I'm crazy scared about the whole thing though. Whatever!!

Sweeeet! Interviews are excellent things. I mean, why would they pay all that cash to send you out there if you weren't a serious contender?
A prof told me once about interviews: "Remember, they're wooing you too!" Because it's also possible that you'll get there, and realize that everything's just not quite what you'd expected, and you maybe kind of don't want to go there!
I'm quite sure you'll kick some interview ass though! Whoo whoo!
Oh hey, who called you for the Planned Giving thing? Was it Candace? She is a cool girl, I used to work with her (well, in the same office as her). If so, tell her I said "hi" and that I'm lovin' Toronto! FYI, Planned Giving is basically the people who try to convince rich people to put the U of C in their wills. I guess "The Hey Could You Please Leave Us Your Fortunes When You Die Committee" just didn't scan right.
(that was me above, btw. The formatting got all weird on me there.)
Cara... they didn't pay for me to go hehe. Professional schools usually expect you to make it there yourself!!
And yes, it was Candace. Hey..., if I woo some rich guy and he offers money, do I hafta give it to the school? Can I just keep it?
Boo-urns to that! Oh, right, you guys are actually expected to make money when you get out. Whereas us chumps just end up gibbering in the hallowed (hollowed???) halls of university basements, all mumbling about how the reviewers at JEP are a bunch of smarmy nincompoops who wouldn't know good research if it came out and...
... hey, so yeah, if you cozy up to the big wigs and they decide they'd rather spend the money on you, well, how were you supposed to know? [insert innocent eyelash batting here]
