The die is cast....
God willing and the creek don't rise, I'm headed to Athens GA for my MLA in the fall. It was a combination of a number of things, but the fact that the MLA is the 'official' terminal degree for LA's broke the tie. While a MURP degree would add some credentials, some portion of the academic advertisements state "MLA or other related terminal degree" - as the MURP is not the terminal planning degree, I technically would not meet the criteria.
Of course, the other things, like being closer to family, and the small-town atmosphere of Athens are just icing on the cake. Of course, my timing for the move will suck. Prientation will start Aug. 10th, and classes on the 16th. I'll have to leave Portland Mid-July to get down there and settled in time. THe 'nice' part is that I'll be leaving OR just as the weather turns nice, and arriving in Athens just in time for the worst part of the summer. Yeah, humidity!
3 months to go....
