Waaah
Another post??? less than an hour after my last? Whut?
There was actual important news for me to report, but I got lost in the depressing haze of Japanese cinema. Though, I'm reminded that I should totally make Ana watch all these movies since I think she likes artsy sad things? Well, maybe not sad, but it just seems like the kind fo sad she'd like. I'd burn them and mail them, but alas, I just mailed her something today (and Ana, if you're reading this- it's a super late birthday present you probably won't use but might get a kick out of).
Ok, so the news: I have *almost* finished my application to the graduate diploma program at Sotheby's in Singapore. That's right, you heard me- Singapore. The only thing I have to do is nail down my profs for references! One is kind of a pain to track down since she's left UofT for research somewhere in the Veneto where I'm sure she's buried under stacks of dusty old manuscripts and gazing at cracked but beautiful altarpieces in situ.
Anyways, yeah. Singapore Sotheby's. I applied for an April 2010 start, and I really really really hope I get in. It's a one-year program in Art Business, but it's just a postgrad diploma and not a master's because I don't think my grades as they are will get me into a master's program as it stands. I still want to do a master's, but I can always do that after the diploma if I feel I need to. As it is, the diploma would be plenty to get me into work in the Art field, and who knows, I might come back to Japan if there are jobs here and my Japanese gets good enough. I'd rather relocate to Europe somewhere for a while, though, but we'll totally have to see.
So... depending on how things go I might be moving to Singapore after a year in Oizumi. Life feels like it's moving so fast. I should be past that whole "omg, I'm an adult" phase already, but I still can't believe it.
Ok, now to bed. Grad school thoughts have pushed away all the sadness from the movie, thank god!
