Good news! The aforementioned fellowship application has been approved for sponsorship by the University of Oxford. The game moves on to the next level. Admittedly, the odds are still very much a longshot, as there are only a maximum of twelve such fellowships awarded in the entire country. Am I clever? Am I good? Yes... but so are plenty of other people. Still, can't win if I don't play, so I am giving it my best shot! Besides, in the unlikely event that this does come through, my career is basically set. So I remember the advice of the Man of La Mancha and dream the impossible dream...
Meanwhile, tonight has been dedicated to P**T*** organizing. With an hour and a half break to ring bells at St. Andrews, of course! T minus seventeen days and counting! Lots and lots (and lots) of work to do between now and then! If I thought that the week before Oxford BiFest was hectic... well, were I to go back in time to March, I would employ an old adage to tell my [slightly] younger self that he ain't seen nuthin' yet!
Listening to Pink Floyd's Shine On You Crazy Diamond right now. Through the years, it has remained my favourite song to listen to when working. Probably because the music is good does not distract me from what I am actually trying to accomplish. How about the rest of you, gentle readers? Any favourites to work by?
