Or, I got accepted to SOAS people!!! I am of course hugely happy and excited, especially since SOAS was (is?) one of my top choices. But I am mostly hugely relieved because now I don't have to spend the next two months worrying if I will get accepted anywhere at all. Though of course, I am still waiting for those results to come in before I take any final decision.
But also, SOAS is in London!! Squeeeee!!!!!
congratulations! :-)
ReplyDeletelet me know if you need insider tips of any sort.
We must indulge in our stalker fantasies if you deicide to live in London :DDD
ReplyDeletecongrats!!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!
ReplyDeleteAnd hey, I do remember saying its SOAS or Oxford for you, no? You can buy me coffee when you get here now!
oh congratulations!!!! I am so happy for you. what exactly will you study?
ReplyDeleteTR: Thanks! Will definitely bug you closer to actually joining :)
ReplyDeletePan: Hah! YES!! I mean it's London - the possibilities are endless. (Though NY does have Pamuk Bey - but I am sure I could stalk him when he come to London :P)
bhaskar, BM: Thank you!! :D
Veena: Was just remembering the conversation earlier actually! And yes, will buy you coffee.
Roxana: Thank you :) Will be doing my Masters in the Near and Middle Eastern Studies
Oh that's fantastic! Congratulations. Sure you will enjoy yourself.
ReplyDeleteGreat news! When do you start?
ReplyDeletecongrats.... should we expect some expert commentaries on the middle eastern affairs? :)
ReplyDeleteGood stuff there.
ReplyDeleteOf course, this is just an excuse so that you're closer to Istanbul, isn't it?
Also, now we want snaps of green doors from here.
SOAS is cool and the best thing is that it is at Russel Square which is one of the most happening places in LONDON.
ReplyDeleteI suggest that you try and get a place in one of the university of London common students hall, you get to hang out with best of the lot. I stayed at goodenough and that was a blast.
space bar: thanks :)I am quite sure I will enjoy myself too!
ReplyDeleteAishwarya: Thanks! Terms start around end September.
Alok: Thanks...don't know about expert commentaries - there are already so many out there - but let's hope for more travelogues? :D
?!!: Oh yes! London - Istanbul only three hours by air ;)
Tazeen: hi and welcome! I love the bloomsbury area actually - with the British Musem and Senate House and all... I spent a bit of time there when I was in London. Yes, I think student halls are the way to go too - plus actually renting out in london is too expensive a proposition.
Congrats and we shall wait for posts bemoaning the hell that is graduate school. Atleast it's not America.
ReplyDeleteHey - somehow missed this post. Congratulations - checked out the SOAS website - looks nice :)
ReplyDeleteBelated congratulations - only just catching up with blog reading after a hectic month.
ReplyDeleteI did that very same course! Now I'm intrigued; which subjects are you choosing? (Email me if this information is not for the general public ;))
