Oooh, so a phd would be doable? Cool. I mean, I know all about the hassle about getting into a programme - took me two years after all - and with the new beautiful but a bit too expensive flat I also know about having to economise but still - it's brilliant to do what you want. Even with the usual panic about how relevant your topic even is and if you will ever learn to network at damn conferences. :)

When would be the deadlines for you to apply? Do you still have time to decide on that front? - And yes, we could totally sympathize with eachother!

Ah, that I can understand. I love MF as well - brilliant actor! - but yes, he's adorable but I don't find him quite attrative either. I'm easy like that, though. For me it's all about the one character that I'm completely addicted to (Sherlock! Not even BC whom I mostly find not all that attractive either, weirdly. Which was also the case with Methos vs Peter Wingfield) and I don't even so much care about the rest. I think I kind of blur John Watson in my mind... As I probably did MacLeod.
