One Down... things are looking up2/1/2018 So, It's done. I got my first portfolio submission finished and sent in to The University of British Columbia. It was a lot more work that I thought it was going to be, but I think a lot of that is my own fault because I can't ever just keep things simple--thanks mom (no really, my mom passed her fussy genes on to me, making it impossible for me to do just do the minimum. Mix that with my dad's proclivity for perfectionism and I'm surprised I ever got the thing submitted at all.) I'm not going to lie to you... I'm ridiculously nervous over here. I know I would flourish in the Media Studies program but I really fucked up in high school (like a million years ago now, but who's counting? Oh, yeah, the broken public education system, that's who...) and I don't have the required math skills. I have everything else, including an Associate Arts degree and soon a Writing and Publishing diploma, but i wanted to take dance class, and skip school to smoke weed (drugs are bad kids) and so I dropped out of grade 12 math as soon as I found out it wasn't required for me to graduate--which I did, with honours, despite the weed and skipping. But actually though... any worthwhile post-secondary program is going to require you to have decent math skills (SPOILER).
Anyway, I'm just super nervous that they will pass me over because of it, since there's only 30 spots available for the program. ONLY 30! That seems like so few in this context, but so many years when you turn that many (which I did just this January). But, it's out of my hands now. I just have to wait and see what happens. I mean as if I would remember ANY of the math stuff I did 11 YEARS AGO anyway... but I need to focus now on the assignments I've been procrastinating in the shadow of the University application process. Cross your fingers for me!
