Wow. A whole month with no posts. No fear- I'm not dead!
I worked a LOT up unto my last post, then I've had some time off, went to the 17Th Century for a bit (long story- I do re-enactment and was teaching a horde of schoolkids about the English Civil Wars), then my PC blew up and I've only just got back online.
Big stuff going on for me right now- head in the clouds for sure. I've jacked my office job as I'm off to Italy for 5 weeks sometime very soon (but will hopefully be able to get to an internet cafe to keep up with you all) doing some fieldwork, and getting paid to do it!
Problem is, this would be too much time out of my degree to keep my job so tomorrow is my last day in insurance hell and I get to study full time when I get back. Hurrah! 10 years ago I couldn't wait to leave school and now all I want is to be able to be there as much of my waking hours as I can....
Oh, and I got the interview for the PhD, so everbody cross their fingers at 11am friday.

Where are you planning on doing your PhD? I was about to enrol on a PhD at Keele (just finishing my MBA dissertation now), but then got this job move to Brighton....too disrupted for that now.....
Civil war re-enactment? My buddy made himself a suit of chainmail from spring washers he stole from his factory job. Absolutley true. Do you give the v-sign to French people lots? Or is that just a myth...
have fun, spk soon,

Big change - quitting your job to study full-time. Must be a bit scary.
