What was the reason of the postponement? Is it a new program or they just didn’t get enough applicants?
Not sure, probably the lack of applicants.
No word back yet either from the contact person at Delft :(

Kind of bummed out lately.
My favourite potential Masters program is put on hold until further notice.
Should I wait and apply in 2013?
The ten years I lived in China was a very sheltered period of my life. As a teenager I was quite oblivious to national human rights issues, extreme poverty, etc. I was certainly aware of it, but never ventured far enough from nice neighbourhoods to see it for myself.
And now, with the horrifying and sad news of 2-year-old Wang Yue, I have doubts about the Chinese ethics system. Wang Yue was hit by two vans and was almost left to die.

Every time I get all fussy about why I decided to go into environmental engineering I Google the projected job security as a good reminder.
It’s behind-the-scenes work and boring but you can’t really go wrong with a $100,000+ annual compensation later in life working for the federal government.
Okay, I will go do my homework now.

A new study says eating less meat could help double the world’s food supply.
Along with sustainable farming, and reduced deforestation (both issues related to meat and livestock feed production) eating less meat might mean more food for everyone. Researchers suggest that by using…
