Many congratulations, Scher.:party:
I had been wondering about your courses - you seem to have so many reading challenges going on at the moment, I sort of suspected you didn't have any course work hanging over you!
Go for it, OrphanPip - you'll regret it if you don't.
Congrats to you too, Motherhubbard, it will all be worth it.
Thank you, Kasie :)
Interestingly enough I find myself wanting to read more (and spending longer hours on the Forum as well) when I have to study!
Hope you decide to go ahead, Pip... I have always regretted not completing my MA right after getting my degree. When does it start if you decide to go ahead?
Anyone else studying this term?
It would start in September, I've got until Friday to confirm.
I'm still doing my L5 Maths for teaching, which is really good. It's an online course where we meet every month with the others on the course and the lecturers.
So, tell us then...Quote:

:goof:
Me too. I'd do some tonight but I'm just too knackered.Quote:

Why is it that while I am perfectly happy to do my course readings (actually love them), putting something on the paper is so very difficult?
Bump!
Trying to work on my end-of-term project. No go.
I would like to take this opportunity to point out that I have not been impressed with this year's turn out. Hoping that there will be more of us studying and being miserable together next year.
If you haven't yet, there are two more months to enroll. Jus' sayin'.
*looks at Papaya's general direction in particular*

My thesis proposal was on the incorporation of disguise as a theatrical technique into early prose narratives and how it was transformed gradually to fit the new form, with special attention paid to how these transformation reflect class and gender concerns of the times.Quote:

I thought you would be studying Biology or something similar...Quote:

Haha, well I have both the BS and the BA now so I could have, but I don't have much interest in doing an MSQuote:

Oh, congratulations on BA! :)Quote:

Hope you get a place at the university of your choice. Don't forget to come here and whine at assignment times - that's what I do :D
Well, it is that time of the year... Again.
Classes are starting and I have been told I am taking a relatively easy class this term.
Here's to hoping!
Starting university from 20th September hopefully (though it means I would probably be too late since classes have already started and there would be a lot to catch up with!). Apparently I am the only one in the class who is going to arrive so late. :(
Also a bit annoyed at having been offered a 50 percent tuition fee waiver (scholarship) for Middle East Technical University so late now when I have already got admission in a university (and actually got my visa/residence permit too). Too late to do anything about it, but it would probably have been easier to adjust in Turkey where weather is more favorable and culture more similar and easy to adjust into as compared to Eastern Europe! (not to mention people a lot more friendlier! :p) But no use regretting what's done and I must make the best of what I have already chosen!
