I need a blogging icon STAT (Castle icon next best thing)
Great news! I have a (volunteer) job as one of the official (in fact the first) postgraduate bloggers on the Leicester website! I get my own WordPress blog to post about studies and academic life for the whole world to see.
Shit.
Anyways, this is awesome news, as I am also soon to take over the official duties as the moderator of the Attic blog for the department AND Alex and I will be running the Studio meetings starting in March. Yikes! I was going to volunteer as student rep too, but...maybe not. I'm still going to apply for Ambassador again, and then get a part time job this summer.
I worked on my finances last night and, baring disasters or things I can't currently think of that might go wrong ::knocks on wood::, I am hopeful that I can finish second year only $30,000 in debt. Which would be AWESOME. That's actually doable. Of course, the last year may double that, depending on things. But even $60k is a lot better than the $100k maximum. Much calmer now. For now, at least!
Just had a very yummy goats cheese and cutney panini for lunch. This is not important, except that it was yummy!

Money panic is normal. I was sure I was down to my last cent in savings over Xmas, but then I looked at my accounts, and I had more money than I thought. I think that's the biggest lesson I've learned over the PhD: never panic without facts!

This is very sound advice I think!
Yes, I had that thought about cross-posting. At least some of the entries. Some might not be acceptible for general viewing (too MS related) or, from LJ, too private! :D I used to post to three blogs at once, so I know I can do this. [Technically, I still do, as I have a Dreamwidth blog too.
