I got a card from one of my students last night, too. I almost broke down in tears. She’s such a keener, such a go-getter, and she never hesitated to speak up - gosh, she’ll do great things. I deserve very little credit for that of course; it’s almost more heartening that she took the time to write to me. I don’t expect or really want this to last ( Read more... )

incidentally, i have decided to stop badgering you about what the hell you should do next september. it really isn't my place to go around and try to push things on people - you'll figure yourself out(*) when you do.

(* - that is not to imply that you need figuring out. further, that is not to imply that there is some sort of perfect/complete end-state we can all possibly recognize and reach.)

Well, I was glad to get all the info, and if it weren't for the fact that such a serious program requires such serious cash... =) I hear a lot of M.Sc. students get PAID to study (like a living stipend and such) - clearly, that's where I gotta get to, even if it takes a number of years.

fyi, make sure you put some research time into how much those research stipends are. more often than not, those stipends/grants/scholarships/fellowships must also cover your tuition and fees. this is the same in all fields - arts and science. E.g. get a scholarship of $17500, but then substract $7000 to cover tuition. Therefore, you've got a little more than $10k to live on for the year ( ... )
