since my last well intentioned attempt at reviving my blog, two months and a dissertation have come and gone in my life.
today I handed in the final draft of my final 20,000 word paper for my masters. overall i am really happy with it - I guess as with any piece of work that is limited by time constrants, budget, etc you can think of things you would have liked to have done better, or had more time to look into... but on the whole I'm really satisfied with it.
now its just a matter of waiting six weeks to hear about how I did... yikes.
relating even further to the subject of 'time goes on...' it has occured to me over the weekend that my paper's due date marks the two year birthday, of my first arrival in Bristol... way way back when I started up this blog. Not only has the last year of my school year gone by so quickly,that in almost no time at all my six months engagement in bristol has turned into a two-year stint (albeit with a significant five month interlude) over this side of the Atlantic.
I'm not going to write too much, except to say 'watch this space'
Because the dissertation has been pretty much the entire focus of everything I have been doing, I have put next to no thought into what i'm doing from now on.... I have been applying to jobs and what not, as I want to find some 'proper work' now that i've nearly got my MA, but in terms of the next big steps I have only been thinking as far as head as September 3rd.
I even forgot my birthday was coming up and didn't get a chance to book it off work!
anyhoosit... i'm hoping that in the next few weeks I will form something that resembles a plan, and once I've got something in the works I will be sure to update it on here.
watch this space.
for now I'm off for a nap before I go out to celebrate my being done!

Congratulations!! Finishing a thesis, what a blissful feeling, eh? I just randomly checked in on your blog ... since I too suddenly have time on your hands. I'm sure whatever you decide to to will be fantastic. And you know how to do oral history now ... quite the skill!
Keep Smiling,
Michelle
