This aint a surfing movie
Well i've had an interesting couple of days - Adam and Nick on a whim came up to visit which was awesome it was good for people to finally come up and see me in Leicester.
However the most bizarre thing was the email i received on monday morning. The department need two candidates for scholarships. My name had been put forward as someone who would be a perfect candidate for it and would i like to meet the lady organizing it. Well i went along and now they want to, following a research proposal (help), help me to apply for funding for a Masters AND PhD. The scholarship if succesful would pay my tuiton fees and 12,000pounds a year. Obviously its very flattering but very daunting as it would be a 4 year commitment without any real vocational outlet at the end of the process. However I can't turn the scholarship down unless i actually apply for it so thats what i've been working on the last few days.
Everyone here has been very supportive and happy for me but I really have to think about it as its such a big commitment especially as it would mean i'd be 25 by the time i graduate! Its a bit weird considering i'd set my sights on a future without university and had written of a masters as unaffordable.
I'll probably whine about this for the next couple of days so i appolagise in advance if i go on and on about it.
