Off to Calgary

So I didn’t even do a post about getting into grad school. So this is my official blog post months later.

I GOT INTO GRAD SCHOOL. I’m headed to the University of Calgary in the fall. I’m hoping to do my thesis on Accessible Urban Design in the MEDes program. I should probably be doing more research than I already have but as you can probably tell from my last post, I’m a little distracted by life.

I’m happy to be leaving Ontario. I really REALLY need a change. Kinda like the opening song for Cheers.

“Making your way in the world today takes everything you’ve got.
Taking a break from all your worries, sure would help a lot.

Wouldn’t you like to get away?

Sometimes you want to go

Where everybody knows your name,
and they’re always glad you came.
You wanna be where you can see,
our troubles are all the same
You wanna be where everybody knows
Your name.

You wanna go where people know,
people are all the same,
You wanna go where everybody knows
your name.”

I definitely don’t feel this way in Ontario anymore. TM changed me. It was hard knowing that while everyone stayed the same, I was the one changing. I need to see and meet new faces and see new places. I’m happy to have this opportunity even if everyone thinks I’m crazy.

So to all the TM(ers) out there who are thinking to themselves, ‘No I could never do that, I’m disabled, I’m this or I’m that’, you need to change your scenery. It will be hard but what have you got to lose. I’ve got nothing to lose (expect for tuition money lol). I’m excited. Calgary get ready for the cherbear.
