So, here I am committing to blog regularily - and I'm stacking the deck. I will try to blog seriously here - moral philosophy, sociology, and general observances on life will be here. I'll try to keep inane thoughts and light humour on facebook.
The vengeance I speak of is my return to academic life.
Today I dropped off a my application at the University of Manitoba, with the intention of completing an Honours Double Major in Sociology and Philosophy, or an Advanced Bachelor of Arts degree in Philosophy with a double Honours major in Sociology. For some odd reason they don't do advanced sociology, so we'll have to live around that. I think doing the advanced BA in Philosophy with an Hnrs mjr in Soc should still count as a sociology degree goes, but I'll consult the authorities to be sure.
The official plan of action is this - BA, followed by MA, either in Soc or International Development. I would love to do the latter, but I have no idea how to move into the field. I know I can get a great job as a policy analyst (social engineering!!) with the federal gov't, and would probably enjoy it, but it's really my secondary preference.
Anyway, those are thoughts for another day. I'm going back to school. Much thanks to Dr.V for graciously offering and providing a reference letter, and forcing me to develop my writing, not to mention a few good talks in his basement office.

Glad to see your getting back into the academics my friend! Though I am sad that it means we probably will see each other less. We shall have to have a couple of poker nights throughout the semester though. Good luck on your classes!
