Masters calls

Moohaha, I just received my last assignment grade back from uni and it was EXCELLENT >_<

Very excited, since I also actually really enjoyed that subject too. Hopefully I will receive the actual assignment back with comments too. I think they do these things just to make you want to keep studying when you've finally finished. It does make me think that if I could just find something I wanted to look into as much as my last assignment I could just about pull off the Master thesis. It's only 18,000 words after all, and if you add together all the words I wrote in one semester this year for all the assignments across all subjects it would be... about 20,000! So 18,000 is a piece of piss really...

Can you tell I am in two minds about this?

The negativo side contains;
  • Increased HECS debt. Already painfully high. Eek
  • Yet another delay on saving money for travelling next year - can't work full-time and write a thesis unless I want to destroy all human relations for 4 months.
  • Stress factor

Yes, not quite enough positives there really. It's a lot of time and expense just for what is really simply an exercise in self-aggrandisement.
