An update? Nein!! Nine Updates? What?

[cyrus_ii]

So - yes. I just got a letter through the door that I have been turned down by the only postgraduate course I applied to this year. This means - that's right folks - a working Andy over the next year. But be not afraid - the horsemen have not ridden out, and the black squirrel has not been seen

Yeah, I'm having an identical thought process, only with less arabic. Uh...

The idea of you as a teacher amuses me more than the idea of me as a teacher, mostly because it wouldn't be happening to me. And because you bullshit more amusingly. :D

[cyrus_ii]

excellent.

What do you mean, why? The gnomes lift the electrons! I told you last week...

best of luck

Damn, that sucks about the postgrad thing. Always can try again another time if you find one that's appealing! (Can't you? I'm hazy on how the whole system works)

Was good seeing you at Maelstrom! Really sorry to hear about the knee though...

[cyrus_ii]

Was excellent seeing you too!

and absolutely, the plan is currently to apply for something later on, so... no problems. Thanks, though!

If you're considering a teaching course later anyway then experience always looks good when applying for things.

[cyrus_ii]

too true...

hmm - thanks! food for thought.

Sorry about the postgrad, love. And the knee. Normally this is the part where I'd attempt to say something vaguely helpful or at least encouraging, but my brain has been eaten by revision. So instead -

*but not in a way that might damage the knee*
*further hugs*

Many thanks - appreciated on all counts!

good luck with the revision.... lemme know how that all works out!

Sorry to hear that... Hmm... Teaching is indeed quite shiny. Ever consider writing essays for a living: apparently there's a whole internet business in it! Am contemplating selling my entire back catalog for a couple of hundred quid - each essay's worth round a fiver, and I've been churning out one a week for three years!

hmmm. The problem is, they buy them off you in order to sell them to students to pass them off as their own, which is something I'm not particularly happy with the idea of. We were told we'd be kicked off the course if we sold any of ours, or bought any... hmm.

good plan in a pinch, though.
