PhD scholar!

I just got the offer today, a full scholarship to do a PhD!!!

So much hard work, so many hours of slog to get to this point ... and so much more to do before I can be Dr Pundy!

The paths a life can take you are truly amazing - some paths are horrifyingly terrible (IF) others are astoundingly wonderful (PhD).

I've not been in here much, time's at a premium and I've been writing so much that writing for pleasure doesn't often cut it. I am reading all of your blogs though, sending positive thoughts out to the Universe for those who need them and cheering all of you on on your paths.

Be well.

Awesome #10 and an update

I owe you all some awesome ...


Photos that work without trying (the rides were awesome too especially No Limit).





Naughty chickehs that come looking for cat fud.




Impressionism by accident (our Gallery has a water window).

What a busy study year this has been. But much better than the Year of Hell doing my Honours thesis and IVF at the same time. I started the study year very apprehensively because of that bad awfulness but I settled into it ok and my anxiety levels haven't caused collapses or breakdowns (so far). And now, suddenly, I've almost finished the coursework for the Master. I've maintained a straight A average throughout the year and I'll be so fucking glad when I'm done with the last two pieces of assessment and I can forgo straight As forever and just work on the "Ps get degrees" theorem.

I'm finalising my application for the PhD and while I'm a shoe-in to get accepted into the program, a scholarship is not so certain, so I'm nervous about that.

I still wish that I'd get miraculously pregnant and it still hasn't happened and I still get disappointed every single month. Stoopid or what?

The view through my umbrella during Spring rain.

And speaking of rain ... Rain's news is also awesome. Congratulations Rain and McRuger and welcome to Cadet!

Weekly Awesome #7

Completely not weekly at all.

This awesome goes to finishing assignments - the feeling that comes along with handing one in, the joy in being able to cross it off the list.

1 down, 6 to go.
