So. Looks I'm not going to school this year. I got accepted in university as an honor student. I finished my B.A two years ago, but wanted to do my Honors in art history, because it seems I need it to do my masters. So I moved to London, On. and got accepted at Western University. I was super excited. I haven't been to school in two years and their art program is 10 times better than the one at my old university.
It fit perfectly with SleepyBear's plans as well since he's taking a year off and then applying for his Masters for next year.
So my plan was to do my Honors degree this year (I could get some classes credited and was easily able to fit everything into two semesters).
But then I met a counselor to make sure everything was fine and she told me that they have this thing called residency credits where I have to do a certain amount of credits for my honors to be accepted since I did my previous degree at another university. How long would that take me?
Twp years. Two, fucking, years.
So basically what they want me to do is do all the classes I need in one year and then pay for another year of random classes, so that they can give me my degree that I successfully completed the year before.
Now that wouldn't be so bad, one can say, if niversity wasn't so DAMN EXPENSIVE.
Also that would also imply that I would, again, be in a long distance relationship for a year and I just came out of a very long year being apart from my boyfriend.
If this was my Master's, with a specific program and specific professor, I would do it. Where and with whom you do your Master's is super important. But I'm really just looking for some extra art history class here.

So I'm not doing it. I guess I'll just work for another year. Again.
I'll register at whatever university SleepyBear is going for his Master's. Most university offer decent art history classes. If they want me to do it in two years than at least those two years will coincide with his two years Master's Degree. Than I'll be able to start mine.
I'm just really frustrated about the whole thing because I was really looking forward to going back to school after two years being away. And frustrated because the whole thing seems to be set up to suck me dry of all my money. Really.

Anyway, sorry for the rant. It somehow had to come out.
(Plus you know I still have to find a job so....money is a lot on my mind these days).

On the good news, I am looking to liquidate most of the prints I have in my shop soon, so I can replace them with new things (more about my collages and drawings), so there will be a super sale (5$) launch soon in my etsy shop. Yeah!
More on that later.
