Thank god
Thank the good lord for:
*FINALLY getting all of my paperwork sorted out and completed. The only thing left to do is get a library card.
*Fast computers in the student computer lab that I can now use.
*Not being 18 anymore.
*Clear sunny skies and bright green land with fresh air and no advertisting around.
*Scones with jam and cream. REAL British scones with thick clotted cream. Not some pansy ass coolwhip "substitute" or those triangular doorstops Americans try to pass off as scones.
*A cafe that serves food made from actual vegetables. Not mushy broccoli in bland sauce, which seems to be the norm.
And, it turns out that even though I applied to the MPhil program I am accepted as a PhD student! Every postgrad is assigned to the MPhil for one year (sort of as probabtion) to weed out those not capable of actual PhD work. This changes my life plan considerably.
Lastly, it looks like my dissertation is headed in the direction of looking at Mary as Co-Redemptrix and the implications of that for the Trinity - which will encompass feminist and cosmological theologies, Mary's adaptation and cooption of pre-Christian Divine Feminine symbols, and a healthy evaluation of the impacts on and implications for the three branches of Christianity.
Hot damn. Nobody steal this for their own dissertation, now.
Off to: get library card, go check out the town's bazaar on being a post-oil community, and hopefully grab a drink with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
