if I wasn’t so far down this road...
I’d be veeeerrry interested in the University of Edinburgh’s postgraduate program in Material Cultures and the History of the Book, which starts this fall. It sounds like a pretty hardcore one-year program: a central course in Cultures of the Book, plus another in either Book History, Media Theory, and Communications or Working with Collections. Then two electives chosen from a rather fascinating list, although I’d really want something along the lines of British Print Culture and the Enlightenment. Then a 15,000 word diss that's due in August.
Sounds like a helluva sabbatical year, eh?

Yes! yes! yes!
Come to the wetlands! (who would look after the fish though?)

Oh, I'd love to — lurv Edinburgh! But I really must finish the current degree before I embark on any others. Still, I'm hoping to be over your way for research sometime in the next couple of years.

lordy--I'm 44 and have two MAs and a Fud and I *still* think of other things to go to school for...like, I'm still six and saying, "When I grow up I wanna be a _________!" (brain surgeon/comedienne a la Carol Burnett/movie actress/sportscaster...)
