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.
