A letter has arrived from the university, telling me that I've been awarded a PhD scholarship for 2009, for up to three years. It's enough to live on comfortably, and even save up a bit here and there for travel and other good things.

After such a long time just hanging out and waiting for a response, suddenly a weight has been lifted.

Now I just need to get rid of this 'flu so I can get some of my interim research done, and it shall be a delightful Stressmas period indeed.

Yep, you guessed right I figured you would. I know the sources for funding in PhD or MA degrees are getting harder to come by and I'm about to start that process myself. I have 3 schools picked all 3 said yes we want you, now its finding the money to realistically do it as part of my work is going to need to be in Mexico and much of the US south west, about 6 months at the body farm and many, many hours in the collections of the Smithsonian.

I'm sure that wonderful woman told you I'm going in the same direction she is.

Indeed. And if not, mention of the body farm probably would have been a big tip-off.

Best of luck in your endeavours also, kind sir.
