I have signally failed to land any of the year-long overseas fellowships for next year. Now I have no clue what I’m going to be doing next academic year, especially since I have no desire to take up a teaching monkey fellowship for the year, even if I could get one.
The research grant runs out in September, and I need to not live in St Andrews next year if I’m not to go clinically insane, although if I *did* stay, there’d be a bunch of undergraduate tutorials available, since half the department seems to be going on research leave, and all the PGs are wrapping up.
I’m also not entirely sure that I want to stay in academia either – and the conference I’m just back from didn’t do anything to erase that feeling.
Ugh. Ugh. Ugh.
I’m going home to Cornwall tomorrow to pretend the world doesn’t exist.

Dude, we need to hang out. Career rethinks are us, I think. <3
