> Yeah. It is kind of the only way to get another extension out of them... MPhils can be done over 2 years whereas if I extend my Masters to 2 years then I aren't considered full time anymore and lose entitlement for a living allowance. Its another 20,000 words or so... But it means I can forget about it while tutoring this semester and then get stuck in over the B semester and over summer.
Well it sounds like a very good plan then. Hmmmm 20,000 words, so about 4 of these threads then - easy. Kidding, just kidding ;-)
> You are really very kind to me, Damos.
Shhhh, you'll ruin my image.> I know. I figured out that I can afford a couple of sessions so I have phoned and made an appoitment for next week. It was after your saying that that I really thought about it and figured I could scrape the money together. Couldn't do it every week. But a couple of sessions. Hopefully the funding will have come through by then.
Okay, I have a sneaking suspicion that $ are significantly tighter for you than me and that you don't exactly get much if anything without having to fight for it, am I right? So let me do this for you okay. It's only Greeks bearing gifts you need to be wary of, not Aussie gits :-) And yes I can be a pushy bugger when things are really important. Think of it as having just discovered a somewhat mad but benevolent Aussie uncle or something, whatever works.
> Thanks. Two weeks to the holidays, ahem, I mean 'study break'.Lucky thing. What I wouldn't do for 2 weeks break of any description.
> If I can get through my pile of marking I'll be well on track...Sorry can't be of much help on that score.
Big hugs to you, and thanks for being my friend.
