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.

Off to Italy? So jealous!!! I was in te Italian alps with some pals last Spring...have you been before? You'll love it!

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... smile

have fun, spk soon,

Good luck with the interview! I'm sure you'll do well.

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

Okay!

I have a life again. It's saturday and I slept in till 10, and now I'm just lazing about (not even dressed yet ;-) )... this is a novel experience!

I'm going to take some sage advice from my canadian cheering squad (thanks northern12!) and lurk about on the site, try talking to some people.

I still want things too much... I need to...

Don't lurk! Participate! smile

Lurking is looking at stuff on the site and never saying anything. Say stuff, and people will love ya!

Listening to the chilli peppers on a compilation made by the guys who I...

Cool!

I'll try to wait 8 days before I start pestering you. smile

Glad you got your application done. Someday you'll have to tell me what was involved. I'd ask about your essay and project, but it would go right over my head. frown

i'm torn between intensity and apathy
knot of fire inside me
skin so numb i need to cut

tear a big enough hole will all that fire come
tumbling out?
there's enough fire in me to eat the world

i fill my time to keep myself numb
frightened of what lies beneath
if i'm still for a while my ice might start to melt

I think I made a friend or two!

Well the proposal was done and handed in, the essay is on the backburner while I write a phd application and it took 4 hours today just to wrestle some data into a useful format.

not the best of days, but two messages waiting for me to cheer me up! thanks!

I'm going to enjoy some of...

Yes, you made one.

The funny thing is that I clicked on Request Friendship, and it said I was approved.

I thought that was weird, normally it says that I have to wait for the person to accept it.

What great timing. biggrin

First comment! Thanks for offering to help with the picture..

Still trying and failing to locate papers on spatial analysis in buildings and have resorted to looking up my tutor's phd theseis in the hope of some leads....

northern:
I'd like to comment on this, however, I have a serious aversion to discussing things my feeble brain can't even begin to comprehend.

Of course, I suppose this counts as a comment anyway. smile

first time posting. tried to write my profile but just got all confused.... my 'favourites' change so much, I guess I'm just fickle. I'll try to be more interesting soon- right now I'm managing to not write my dissertation proposal smile
khabiri:
Sooo... proposal done but I'm not the happiest. The SG's have proved a nice distraction and reward though.

Now starting the next piece of work. I hate this time of year, but love my degree- it's just all a bit relentless.... frown
