Oh god, not more?
So, I've kind of got the whole grad-school hunt going on. Not somewhere I ever thought I'd be. But, see, I'm kind of getting the feeling that I'm going about it with the wrong idea: basically I want to go to grad school so I can live somewhere exceptional for a few years.
Here's the shortlist, even though it is highly unlikely that I will ever get in to any of these. I can always daydream:
- University College of London, England
- University of Cape Town, South Africa
- University of Auckland, New Zealand
- Ludwig-Maximillian University, Munich
I do actually have a realistic list going, but I'm still totally applying to the University of Cape Town (and UCL, which is actually a top choice on the 'realistic list'). And, really, even thinking of grad school at this point is a little premature -- but, yeah, pretending like I can look forward to two years in Cape Town? Is just about the best kind of pretending there is.

But, dude... google Cape Town and look at the pictures. It's incredible. I would offer up a few limbs to live there.
