And they're off!
Apr. 7th, 2011 11:11 pmTwo Ph.D. applications are on their way to Stockholm. Fingers crossed that at least one of them will appeal to the people in charge.
To celebrate this I had an minty chocolate ice cream on my way back from the post office. We're having fantastic weather here (sunny 18°C!) so one might as well enjoy it while it's here. Unfortunately I've been spending the whole week indoors - I'd really like a deck chair and a massive extension cord for the computer so I can work outside - and will continue to do so on Saturday, since an entire day was spent fixing the last bits on the applications. Normally I'd just work a few extra hours each evening to make up for lost time, but there's an important deadline coming up, and my choices got a bit limited.
At least I'm having Sunday off, as I'm meeting a designer friend in London who is making me some custome jewellery. Unfortunately that means missing the Ladies' Lindy and Sewing Circle, Oxford Chapter sewing get-together, but there'll always be another time.
