Intellectual Intoxication (or, MONEY!!)

By means of one small email, Mr. Brewer of the philosophy department managed to make my summer by informing me, quite casually, that the department could fund my MA. Quite casually, I stand up and run around the house to bounce off a few walls. FUNDING! Having been utterly disappointed to be graded a mere '3' by the AHRC board (well done dear, an excellent application, but only the '1's actually get the money – insert manic, evil laugh), I am suddenly propelled from my temporary jaunt in the miserable world of oysters, jobs and infinite possibility to the reassuringly cosy world of learning. I'm back, and I'm ready to go. Philosophy won't know what's hit it.

Have I expressed my pure delight and gratitude enough? Here's an old but gleeful picture to capture the vibe.
