Good morning, Readers!
Not too long ago, I noticed that the University of Glasgow was offering a Master's in Fantasy, which, frankly, is firkin' amazing, and I would move to Scotland in a heartbeat so long as I had the guarantee of a place to live, and I could bring Galahad with me easily. I researched it anyway, hoping they offered a way to do it distance education; particularly since we're in the age of the 'Rona.
Alas, no.
They do, however, offer a Masters of Literature in Creative Writing, which looks fantastic, and I'd love to do it.
There is, of course, a giant however.
However, they do not offer the course part time for distance education. Which means that I would have to be able to afford full-time international tuition fees and I would not be able to study effectively while working full time, which I'd need to do to have shelter and eat, since I would need the time for my classes and the various forms of assessment necessary to complete the degree. In short, I would need roughly 55287.86CAD to cover tuition and living expenses. This amount does not cover the cost of materials (text books and whatnot).
I'm really quite sad about it. I cannot plunge myself into student debt again. It almost killed me. So a loan is out of the question. I don't think I'd be able to recover financially taking out a loan of that amount at this stage of my life. The scholarships on offer wouldn't cover nearly enough, and I've missed them in any case (if I wanted a January 2021 start).
So, well, there goes that idea.
Lordy, the things I would do if money was no object.
Sigh.
Right, I'm off to dream about impossible things!
Ciao!
