Interesting point of note:

A CAS [Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies--a confirmation from a recognised educational institution that they have issued an invitation to study] should only be issued for full-time study in the United Kingdom.

from UK Visas application guidance

I have no problem with that, but I had been wondering if there were such a requirement or if one could come and study part-time. It's nice to be able to find it right there up front.

crap!

Submitting online applications today, and I fat-fingered on one and it thinks it's submitted, even though I only put in about half the necessary information. Plus, I'm applying to another program at the same institution, and I have to put in all the SAME information, all over again.

*sigh*

things just get better and better

1. I feel much less like a Plaguebearer of Nurgle.

2. When I went to see the dr. during the week, he said that moderate alcohol consumption _IS_ quite OK with the meds he'd prescribed me. (We did mutually calibrate on what "moderate" meant. *Not* what it means to ban_leodhasach ;-) SO now I can really enjoy the lovely birthday present that soccer_fox and gr_c17 gave me!

3. Five of the six people I've asked to be referees for my grad school applications have agreed; the sixth I haven't heard from yet, but she's hugely busy doing grad school herself, so I may not hear until later.

4. The weather is really nice. I'm going to take a bottle of (sparkling, non-alcoholic) perry outside and read in the warm sunlight while it lasts.

5. The Globetrotter missed her flight to Paris, but the airline rebooked her through Frankfurt, with only a couple of hours' delay. :-) She is off to have fun in the City of Lights!

6. Another of my friends (need to think of a good nickname for her :-) The Antiquary is off to bask in the sun in Andalucia! (Hear that lisp? I've been working on it, like Lord Grey of Wharton.)
