fin. (part 1)

i turned in all 14,948 words of my bloody dissertation this morning to the towering gothic halls of the exam schools. this is part 1 of completing my masters. so i celebrate by sitting in exeter college's garden on my laptop applying to junior professional programs at the world bank. like all academics, i have a less than favorable image of the world bank (mainly because of structural adjustment and their dealings with the IMF), but hey, you do more working from inside the institutions, right? at least the scenery where i'm sitting is beautiful (as captured by my ever-so-wonderful built-in computer camera). poor souls still re-working their own dissertations, trapped in the old stone walls of the library both in front and behind me in these photos. alas...



so now i just have to revise for my "epic" exams for the next 2 weeks. huzzah!


....ah, looking around me i can't help but think how sad i will be to say goodbye to this beloved place....
