it needed to become decisive at some point, so im putting it here. by the time the 15th of january rolls around, my academic future will be held entirely in the erudite hands of the graduate admissions officers of the following ivory towers:

oxford university
the center for medieval studies at the university of york
cambridge
kings college, london ( Read more... )

me neither :) and this time, nothing in the world is going to keep me from seeing you. how the hell long has it been? i go down into the college store here, and theres a huge display of rothko posters and i think of that time when we were little when my mom came to pick me up at your house and she was like "hey, is that a...real...rothko...ohhhh....gotcha." that was embarrassing.

and updates to my end must be had on: health, conversion stuff, family :)

people should be paying you to do this, because it is so COOL.

god bless you, scholar-maid.

oh ill definitely take your prayers and well-wishes. ive been swinging wildly between "oh, im going to get in everywhere" and "holy god why would anyone accept me into these programs?!" ...i cant believe im going to be a graduate student. these programs are just one-year MAs but still...

aaaand i cant stop staring at your icon :)

i wish you all the good wishes there are to be wished! and my goodness, if they don't ALL want to take you, then i shall come over and break knees. they'd be lucky to have an actually avid, intelligent gel like you.

icon: sleepy hollow. such a great image. johnny + blindfold, mm, yes.

hello! my goodness, i've only just discovered this comment, even though you wrote it so long ago - im sorry for the delay. in any event, im currently working on my applications. i am actually quite interested in the st. andrews program; i have a friend who studied there last year as an exchange student and she really loved it.

congratulations on finished your mlitt! what did you write your thesis about, if you dont mind my asking...

hello! no worries about the delay - i know how many comments lj's been eating of late. i hope your applications are going well. *g*

thank you very much! it was definitely relief to finish, and i was thrilled to get my dissertation back with some feedback from the markers. and i don't mind your asking at all (does anyone not want to talk about their work? *g*). i wrote my dissertation on three elizabethan/jacobean roman plays - shakespeare's julius caesar, coriolanus, and ben jonson's sejanus - exploring male bonds and the development of masculine identity within a political framework of republican versus imperial rome. (the abstract is here if you're really curious.)

wherever you end up, i wish you the best of luck!
