College!

[triskellian]

I have:

• An offer of a college place to accompany my faculty place: I will be at Linacre, which was my first choice for not much more reason than: it's a graduate college, it has a pretty building, and it's on the correct side of town.
• A scary financial guarantee form which smiorgan is going to have to complete to assure them that he's going to be housing and feeding me.
• A sneaking suspicion that the combination of the Women's Studies course and the financial-guarantee-from-husband is rather ironic.

A sneaking suspicion that the combination of the Women's Studies course and the financial-guarantee-from-husband is rather ironic.

I think you should submit a full scholarship application on that basis!

[triskellian]

It's a choice made by a woman, and all choices made by women are automatically feminist, right? I think that's how it works. Although it's also a choice by a man, so automatically anti-feminist. Oh dear, now I'm confused.

[triskellian]

Hee! If only :-)

I think if you make smiorgan wear a skirt while he completes the guarantee, you'll probably be ok.

Don't encourage him!

[triskellian]

Mm, perhaps you're right. Do you think I'll need photographic evidence?

[triskellian]

But he hasn't worn a skirt for ages! </pout>

But in 30 years time, Professor triskellian can write a witty piece on the ironic nature of it all in the Oxford Magazine.

Linacre is just up the road from my work. We will have to do lunch! It's also very handy for nice walks in the Parks and Mesopotamia.

[triskellian]

Definitely up for lunch :-)

(Also, I've just discovered that Linacre has a knitting society!!eleventy!)

[white_hart]

Woo! And you'll have to come knitting in Blackwells on Wednesdays, of course; we don't get very long in everyone's lunch break but it's definitely A Good Thing anyway.

[triskellian]

Well, obviously ;-) (Not that I have any clue yet what my timetable will be like, but still!

Not when you're around, no.

(Oh, shit.)

it's also a choice by a man

If you've left him any choice, You're Doing It Wrong.

Ironic? Yes, but

Given that 40 years ago my mother was supporting my dad through his post-graduate qualification, only to be told once he'd got through it and got a job that he didn't want his wife working, I still see some movement.
