a quick apology

hello!

I'm just dropping by to apologise for my online silence over the past month or so. This has been largely down to the 12,000 word epic that I submitted to the history faculty last Friday- otherwise known as my thesis. Now all that stands between me and finishing my undergraduate degree for good is around ten revision-filled weeks and five final exams. How terrifying. This terror is amplified by the fact that I recently received an offer from Oxford, to study for an MSt in Archaeology next year, an offer I am super keen to actually take up. The conditions are likely to be that I am required to achieve a high 2:1 at least, so I really must stop procrastinating and get my head down.

That sadly means that this blog is probably going on a relative hiatus for a little while, likely until early July. My revision workload will probably generally not allow me to either a) visit many museums or b) blog about them during this time, so there really isn't much point pressuring myself to write regularly on here. I also want to make sure that, when I finally get round to it, my Ashmolean post is absolutely perfect! I'm also going to Aachen for a few days next week and want to ensure that when I do blog about the world of Charlemagne, it does the great man justice and isn't clouded by mid-revision panic and inevitable hurriedness.

Apologies again, anyone who is depending upon this blog for happiness and inspiration (ha) - perhaps go out and visit a few museums yourself, and I'll be back in July!
