I appear to have an unconditional offer to study Bristol's MSc in Palaeobiology, starting this September.
Yup, I am most definitely leaving my comfy career to freefall cheerily without income.
So now I just need to do up my house sufficiently to sell it, actually sell it, sort out somewhere to live in Bristol with three elderly cats, oh and finish the two OU modules I'm currently in the middle of.
WHAT DO I THINK I AM DOING?!?!
