    College!

    My original plan, as some of you might remember, was to get into the University of British Columbia with Miguel, but of course, that didn't turn out so well. I got accepted at the wrong campus, AND it was super expensive, and the funding I was relying on from my parents got cut off (because they thought it was a spur of the moment thing, and because I got accepted for arts and not science...)

    BUT BUT BUT I just found something out that helps a tonne! If I take the first year of my post secondary career at Langara College, they have a program which is basically the first year of UBC engineering! This basically means that after I take the year of engineering at Langara, I just literally apply to second year at UBC, and as long as I have a decent average I get accepted.

    This is so perfect for me! First of all, my high school marks are a little shakey (personal stuff was going on in my life during grade 12 >.<), and getting into the College program is a THOUSAND times easier and less competitive than getting into UBC. Second, tuition for it is something like 3 grand a year, where as for UBC it is closer to 8 grand a year. AWW YEAH! It'll please the rents, and I've certainly proved that I'm serious about moving there by now. (I've also been working full time this year, so I have my own money as well if they decide to bail again).

    I'm just so happy, and I had to share it with you all! It looks like we will finally be able to close the distance, permanently! :3

      this is great news! i love it when things fall into place like that

      curious question, which engineering specialization are you opting for?

        Thank you both :3

        I'm really into physics haha, so I figure if I'm going to go to all the trouble of studying physics in university, I might as well get an engineering degree and be able to earn more money :P So we'll see where that takes me after my first year (which is generalized).

        As you can see, I know EXACTLY what I'm doing with my future lol.

          Congratulations on such good news!

          Glad to know I'm not the only person who enjoys physics :P Haha I didn't enjoy it enough to make a living off it, but when I took a year of it in highschool, I actually quite enjoyed the class and concepts.

            Haha, no way! Everyone else in my classes were like OH GOD WHY DOES IT EXIST? But I always loved it :P

                you'll have plenty of time during that first year to figure out which orientation is best for you

                i was that close *holds thumb and index together* to studying physics or math. i love both subjects and would have loved to do research for a living but my love for life here in my country overruled it, as there the only thing i can do here with a PHD in physics or math is teach, and i did not want that. so i chose the next in line and went for architecture, which i'm very happy i did

                  I'm really happy for you! That is great that something else came up. It's wonderful when things just start falling into place like that. I'm hoping I have a similar situation soon.
