PhD

Once the summer's over, I'm looking at a rather bleak landscape so far as teaching goes... I'll be finished the MA by then (though I don't get to wear the funny hat until January). Besides, I'm sick and tired of renting myself out by the hour to the cowboys and cocksuckers who manage EFL.

Therefore, I plan, if possible, to get paid to do research. Probably in language testing. Getting funded is very complicated. But findaphd.com seems as good a place as any to start.

  1. Tell me about it. I've just realised my four-day weekend isn't actually, as I assumed, a holiday. Instead the twelve teaching hours have been shunted on to other days.
    They never miss a chance to squeeze a bit more out of you, do they?

    Good luck with the funding.

  2. PS: it's a sorry state of affairs when both our football team and chosen profession are shite.

  3. Sorry indeed. Still, we wouldn't be able to appreciate the occasional ray of sunshine otherwise, would we?

    Hmmm, make that very occasional.
