Well, I’ve finally done it!
The forms are filled in, the portfolio is updated, the references are confirmed and it’s all in the post. There’s little more that I can do now, it’s just a matter of sitting and waiting.
I thought my enthusiasm would drop once the process of applying was complete, but I’m in another state of excitement which I hope will last between now and September.
I’ve got a few books to work through, I’ve got a couple of weeks booked off, and a cruise around Italy to savour it all.
There are a good number of posts that I need to complete to get on the blog as I’ve been holding off them whilst I worked on the applications.
Good times ahead!

All the best for your academic endeavors and travels! I don’t know who said it, but one of my favourite quotes is “What’s meant to be will always find its way.” Keep smiling 🙂
