Getting excited about grad school
Aug. 20th, 2008 02:09 pmWe're down to mere weeks before I start. The anticipation is incredible. Going from full-time work into a master's feels like heading into summer vacation, rather than two years of more school.
Yes, that's strange. Yes, I know it is strange.
I get to pick my classes next Tuesday... and one course that's getting me really excited is this broadcast management class ("Managing in the New Broadcast World") which is actually being offered by the Schulich MBA program. The liberal arts anarchist in me is looking forward to being an interloper in the business world.
Yes, I'm going to take a management class. Yes, I'm well aware of how weird that is.
The course is being taught by a guy who used to chair the Canadian Television Fund, and is on record advocating for increased public funding and support for domestic television production. Even though I'm gunning for an academic career, the contacts I can make from this course are going to be incredible.
It'll be a great balance for my thesis, though, to be able to see television distribution from the side that makes all the decisions. Oh, the anticipation!
