boombangbing at 01:19am on 21/10/2008 under bawww, im a riter, the decisions you make now..., universitypoints of order:
1) I demand to know why the template databases I downloaded today (well, yesterday now, I guess) weren't this cute:
more animals
2) I'm starting to pull together ideas for my NaNo novel, but I don't know how much planning to do. Thing is, planning tends to kill my writing - I have a kind of kamikaze approach to most writing, either I'll finish something or I won't, planned or not. On the other hand, this is fifty thousand words in a month and I've never done that before. Opinions?
3) I have to start applying to universities soon. I need to write a personal statement for the English universities (I'm not sure if UBC needs one of those too), but I don't even know where I want to go. I mean, UBC is my first, second and third choice, and if I don't get in, I don't even know what I'd study here - I really don't to spend three years writing literary criticism. D:
4) Speaking of university, I don't know if I want to apply to live in residence at UBC. Originally I thought I definitely would - then I saw the dorms. :) The problem isn't really that they're cramped, drab and prison-like (though the ones I saw were), it's more that if I make it out to Canada, that's going to be my home. There'll be no going home on the weekend if I feel suffocated or homesick. Also, I'm rapidly learning that I highly value my privacy, and I just don't know how I'll get on living with that many people. :|
When I mentioned this to my dad, he shot it down real quick, but somehow I think that probably was mostly to do with him not wanting to have to help with the rent. He said that I should live in residence to get to know people, but somehow I think I'll probably make friends anyway, not to mention my neighbours if I lived in an apartment block.
I'm not sure how I'd go about renting a place since I won't know if I'm actually going until a couple of weeks before term starts. I guess I'd just have to put a deposit down on a place, and hope it doesn't fall through. And then, of course, there's the question of whether I'd go out there in the summer to look at apartments, or just take my chances over the internet.
But then maybe I'm getting ahead of myself.
5) Apparently, there are Russian bots going around adding and removing people to their friends list. I had a couple add me last week, but I wasn't sure WTF was going on. God only knows what their purpose is.
