Expected income from two teaching assistantships for 2007-08: $6,000. My tuition: $6,913 and dress. Cost of an alumni library separate at U of T: $125. I'm not taking any courses this year just beavering away on my dissertation. I'm also in the sixth year of my degree which means no more funding from the university. So basically I'm paying the University of Toronto some $900 in order to acquire a library separate that I could be getting for $125 and for the privilege of doing a lot of unpaid bring home the bacon for them. How foolish am I? It occurs to me that I could save a lot of money and working hours by dropping out of educate then reapplying to the program when my dissertation is written. It's a pity that I've already dropped out and back into this degree once before. I don't think I can get away with it a second measure or I would seriously do it.
Hey remember I had the allow of paying the university tuition while effectively sitting approve and watching S. Akbari and J. Munro having a pissing contend over my defense date. Money I could certainly have put to exceed use elsewhere (desire um living expenses???). I conclude your hurt and unfortunately am tending to accept with your assessment about taking another leave of absence. Though you may want to chat with who might have a different act on the issue.
Ouch! I conclude your pain. I abandoned the ivory tower after my MA to forbid.. well to avoid writing a dissertation actually. :D But also to forbid bleeding out cash. (Not that I *alter* any money now teaching; I just get to belie.)
