Oh wow, you are applying to teacher’s college too? whatever for? dear god. that’s all I neeed a crazy naked man as my competition!

“Whatever for” indeed?! I’ve been asking myself this the whole weekend as I completed my applicant profiles.

After a lot of thinking, I realized that I like teaching — the whole idea of sharing and creating knowledge turns me on. Besides, I’ve been doing a lot of it in some form (everything from tutoring at the Writing Centre to TAing). And I also have two teacheables (English and Computer Science), which would make me a strong applicant (hopefully).

I’m excited about the competition. I’m applying to UofT, York, and Brock. Where are you headed?

Western, Queens and Nipissing. Then Lakehead and Windsor as my “last resort” type choices, reason being that they are the furthest away from home and KW. I like being close to both of these places if possible. It will be an adventure I’m sure. Best of luck Tudor. I’d love to be there when York interviews you. Do you have a portfolio of pictures? I’m sure that would go over quite well, certainly it would shake things up!

I like being close to Toronto — for obvious reasons. Good luck with your applications too (maybe when we grow up, we can teach in the same school!)

And yes, I’ll consider your suggestion of bringing in a slide-show during the York interview.

When did Nipissing get close to KW? or Queen’s for that matter?

Ikabod probably meant to Barrie.

Ah man! You mean Tudor isn’t going to teach ESL in South Korea for a year first? I was so looking forward to hearing about his many crazy encouters in Southeast Asia, & the numerous ways he learned to say “penis” there (ie. Vietnamese, Korean, Japanese, Mandarin, etc.).
