Actually has an update

[windemere]

So, here's the deal. I've pretty much given up on the Canadian job market at this stage. It's been 12 months and the best I've gotten is three interviews for jobs I wasn't really qualified for anyways. As you can imagine, I am annoyed and tired and just plain ready to do something else with my life.

On that note, I'm applying for a PhD. Likely to more than one university, just to be safe, and all in England. I have a general topic already and will spend the next month or so developing it into a thesis topic. It's great and new and really topical. I have already contacted Leicester and received help with a reading list, so good show!

I am absolutely terrified. Mostly what terrifies me is getting into a program but not getting funding (which I think would be worse than just be rejected because I would have gotten my hopes up). I am also insanely excited about the potential of moving back to England and having friends again! [I am massively over the mood about the fact that one of the universities is Cambridge.]

But, basically, REALLY EXCITED!!!

[And very tired as I didn't get home until midnight and was awake by 6am]

Of course you are! But the friends I have here I never see, so it feels just as cut off as if I had none around. I'm getting tired of living my social life completely on the internet.
