So the love is taking both of us to new places *again*
January 21st 2009 11:53
Uni results are out. Will has found out that he has been accepted by Monash University in Victoria as well as Macquarie Uni in Sydney.
So once again we'll be moving this year to which ever offer he will accept.
When asked if I was happy about it, I said truthfully, I'm a little numb to all this now. Either way, it's another move, another environment change, another quitting and looking for a new job and another set of friends. It no longer matters.
Poor Kitty will have to endure another flight.
I do however feel a little sad that now that I am settled and actually have friends here in Coffs Harbour, and the job is just getting really good and enjoyable, that we have to move again.
I actually feel like a kid whose parents move all the time so they change schools all the time, never have enough time to form good friendship with everybody.
I shouldn't complain really. In the end, this will benefit both of us. However for the time being I can't help but feel just a little tired.
The good news is after this move it should be an at least 3-4 years of settling because he really needs to complete this degree without transferring too much. So wherever we'll be we'll be there for a while.
So just waiting on him to decide now. Either way I am in Coffs until end of March, then hopefully I'll have saved enough money and Will would have found a part time job so i can take a month off and have some time travelling by myself

I hear you on the moving front. I hate it. All that packing, and unpacking. However I do see it as an opportunity to sneakily dispose of the junk my husband insists on hoarding.
On the other hand well done to Will. Actually I have just had an offer from Macquarie myself to do my Post Grad.
I think alot about the sacrifice. Living on a budget etc, even though my husband works I have to fund my studies and Samanthas childcare myself. But in the end I think that sacrifice is worth it if you end up doing what you love at the end of it.
Will you be able to transfer to a flight centre where ever you end up?
Melbourne in a cool city, if you end up there, and Macquarie has a big shopping centre nearby, maybe they will even get the train line finished.
Either way good luck.

My girlfriend is at Macquarie, though, and I don't think I would ever recommend it. For the enormous tuition she pays, she gets rather weak support from the uni and her department. I'm planning to complain - this week, she contacted the uni for several forms that she needs, and was treated very rudely and then hung up upon - in addition to the usual amount of bureaucratic bumbling.
I've been in the Uni system for a while, and I'm getting sick of the attitude of the university system, where you pay for an education, but that education is delivered with insincerity and incompetence.
The worst part is that I have no suggestions on how to fix the system... perhaps the first step would be to further separate research and teaching?

Anonymous: I choose not to have an input. He has asked. I told him to make up his own mind, since for me, whether it be Sydney or Melbourne it's going to be the same situation, still a move, still a new job. Doesn't make much difference either way.
Cib - I also don't really rate Macquarie, having a few friends and my own sister gone there. I myself was very happy with my education at UTS.

Interesting comments about Macquaire. I have just accepted there. Mainly because it is close to where I live and Samantha has great daycare in the area. Maybe I should have asked around first.
I wonder if it is just the department or overall.
I have dealt with a lot of the Mathematicians at the UTS in my previously life as a researcher they are very clever!

Hey, this is going to be so funny with Will at MQ! By the way, if he is by chance taking the course on Citizenship (2nd year subject) tell him if he wants to avoid having me as tutor he should pick a Monday tutorial, and not a Tuesday one, hehe.
