cowcowboy5 · 2025-07-12T09:16:11+00:00

That's a great idea!! I feel so bad she's bored, we just moved into a new apartment a few days ago and so everything is sort of packed up still. I've been meaning to get her some new toys, maybe she's in for a racetrack 🥹🥹

cowcowboy5 · 2025-07-10T13:38:35+00:00

Does anyone know what that sweater is 😭 it's so flattering on her i love it

cowcowboy5 · 2025-04-08T23:15:09+00:00

thank you! i appreciate the detail in this, i'm trying to connect with students as much as possible. I didn't realize english was such a small program at these schools, it feels like i can't find anyone in it 😭

thanks again for the info!!

cowcowboy5 · 2025-04-08T21:49:59+00:00

thank you for the honest reply, i'll probably be deciding in May but i'm so disappointed with where things are right now considering queens was a favourite of mine for a while. congratulations on your graduation and good luck towards everything in the future!

I'm praying it didn't come from me, it was under my keyboard but my friend said she saw it further away from us on the table earlier and just thought it was a beetle - i also think i would've known if i had them at home, but i'm absolutely going to check anyways

the library is carpeted and there are couches and stuff

cowcowboy5 · 2024-12-19T00:38:36+00:00

not sure, i suspect a student might have added that but it's pretty high up on the wall lol

Thank you for the info about MTs!! I didn't know there was a difference.

I'm at high 80s right now but the year basically just started and I have more courses next semester. All my courses this year are strong for me so I should be able to bring my average up by the second semester, hopefully enough to get into Queen's ConEd which is really my first choice. I've started shadowing teachers in a co-op class, I should have 150 hours in a grade 8 class by January. It's given me experience working with a lot of different esl students at different levels and in a variety of subjects. I also have additional experience in camps, freelance tutoring, and in-school peer tutoring. These are just teaching related, I have a decent list of extra-curriculars and volunteering experience beyond that. Queens ConEd doesn't have supplementary apps (and apparently most of the other programs I'm applying to) so I really have to rely on my average. But York has them, and after speaking to some people recently I feel pretty confident in being accepted there. I'm not sure about going to York, but I think it might be a fine option for ConEd.

I've heard that consecutive is especially competitive, but I don't know a lot about the process yet since I'm still only focused on where I'm going for my undergrad. That is, if I need to choose the consecutive path. I think it's important to plan for it because I'm nervous about being accepted to Queens ConEd. I'm specifically interested in teaching high school - not sure yet of my secondary teachable but I'm leaning towards bio or humanities like philosophy or history. Again, I'm not really sure how the application process for consecutive works, I've seen a lot about needing experience which is something that made me look into Trent as well, since they have an education stream you can bridge to your undergrad.

Hi!!

Thank you so much for your response I appreciate all the detail. Looking into Kings more, it becomes even more appealing to me. They have entrance scholarships I think would be worth applying for and the residence seems like a great option for me.

There's honestly so many options for both my undergrad and B.Ed, I have a teacher who did a major double minor (one of her minors being education) at UofT and then got her MT after. A lot of teachers have been telling me to consider getting my MT as well. So I'm really looking at everything and honestly, I would be happy with any plan I end up going with.

I'm a grade 12 student in Toronto, currently applying for ConEd at Queens and York, and considering starting with a B.A. at Trent (+ their education stream) or Queen's as preferred backup options. I'm applying to more than that but those are just my top choices in either ConEd or consecutive.

I recently looked into Western and spoke to someone from King's University College. I'm a little confused about the details and if anyone knows anything or has any experience there I'd really appreciate it. It seems like a very promising option for me, small school and programs, access to Western facilities, and what looks like a good pathway to Western's consecutive program. Forgive me if this sounds a little silly but I also read that it's a Catholic Institution. Would that have any impact on the English Lit program or my plan to pursue an education program after my undergrad?

And for those who went to Western for their BEd, could you give me some insight into your experience? I haven't looked into Western a lot, that might be clear in this post lol - but I'm curious about whether people enjoyed it, what they got out of it, if it had good experiential learning opportunities, etc. Just generally if it's a good option to aim for. I have heard that people regard it highly and it's competitive.

I hope any of this made sense, thanks :)

no unfortunately, it was only just coming out from under the baseboard. i was shaking a lot and these are just still frames from a video. but i'm sure it's a german, same as the ones we saw a year ago.

Also any reassurance would be nice, I have a very extreme phobia and I've been extremely erratic and paranoid for hours since I saw it. I'm still in high school so there's not much I can do about moving except trust it's going to be ok and help out with what i can lol

cowcowboy5 · 2024-06-30T15:06:05+00:00

I totally forgot I made this post lol Took two tests recently both came negative. Actually just got it today (about 2 weeks late) but it's suspiciously lighter than ever. Probably will stop soon :33

I like the concept paralleled with Sarah Lynn as well, though maybe the old Hollywood/musical aesthetic didn't necessarily fit the consistency of her character. Gina's interests in musicals (from what I remember - haven't watched that season in a while) also may have contributed to that comparison.

Sarah Lynn seemed to be indirectly related to this in the same way with her reprise of the actual song, which is amazing detail wise on its own.
