So… thinking positive
Even though I am not entirely sure that the whole PhD thing is doable unless my fall down go boom problem gets resolved by then, have decided to go ahead and start jumping through the next round of hoops, aka applying for Phd programs.
Which means I need to contact profs and arrange for reference letters, fill out the online forms, get my transcripts ordered, and rewrite my Statements of Intents. Could be worse though - this whole process is becoming very familiar. Scholarship, program… there just isn’t that much difference between the application processes.
When I was looking for Master’s programs, I applied for 4 - and was accepted into all of them. This time around, I think I will limit it to just 2 - Trent’s Canadian Studies program (depending on the outcome of my meeting there later this week) and York’s Phd in English program. Although…. Ross does keep mentioning BC… as if I would go that far away from my kids and grandkids. Just can’t see it. But suppose it wouldn’t kill me to look at the U of Vic mailing I received. Maybe.
After all of my papers are written, my applications’ stuff for here arranged, and my students’ essays and exams are all marked. Geez, I still have an awful lot of stuff to get done before Christmas! I’d best get busy.
But before I do … here are my top droppers for November: thanks to all of you - and everyone else that’s dropped by, also 
Yay! You like me, you REALLY like me!
