Yea i haven' tbe blogging for ages.. because the thing i wanted to blog about gives me a headache everytime i think about it.
3 years ago i made a decision to stay in Auckland even though I knew Massey have a well more established food tech course. I don't look back on my decisions, but here I am.. at a place where i can make choices.
The fact is... I am not comfortable with the environemnt in uoa, don't get me wrong, the people are very nice, the lectueres have a lot of faith in me, in fact perhaps more than i deserve. BUT it doesn't take away the fact that they are all waaaaaaaaaaaaay too busy. And because there are essentially only 2 of them, they are usually not specialised enough to well... help us on our project i guess. Call me dependent, but i HATE the feeling of when i am stuck on something that when i do get the chance to talk to my supervisor, although she doesnt' do that intentionally, i feel like i am a big burden that's wasting her valuable time, and while she'll give me advice on what i should do, she's really doesn't know enough in that field for it to be a constructive advice. Ok... so here's the thing, everyone tells me honours is a hardout year, i am ok with that, BUT i want to make sure that it's worth all that.
So I am again stuck with 2 choices, Uoa or Massey
and yes i 've checked with choices overseas, and sad to say a 3 year degree isn't really sufficient
So auckland is the obvious choice, I know the ppl, i'll have supervisors that knows me well, i'll be living from home, and well i guess an honours degree sounds more 'glamerous'. BUT i'll have do the project on my own, not to mention i am unhappy with the paper choices
Massey on the other hand is only a postgrad dip which means no matter how good my grades are, i can never skip masters to do a phD, i don't know anyone there, and i'll be well... living by myself. But they do have papers that i really like, and from what i've heard they have 10 lecturers in their department and living by myself will be a really big learning experience. And get down to it, i know Massey's strength lies within catering ppl specifically for the industry, and that's always been my aim....
So yes.... dont' knwo where i'll be this year, i do know i shud make a decision soon enough.
