I heard from UpNorth Uni today. The Graduate Teaching Assistantship is confirmed, which means that if I don't get ESRC funding they will pay me to do a PhD over 4 years (including paying my fees) in return for 6 hours teaching a week. So, one way or another, it really is going to happen. Eek.
I'm still hoping and hoping and hoping for the ESRC funding though. The GTA doesn't pay too well, and wonderful though doing the PhD will be, being poor as a church mouse for 4 years will be considerably less wonderful. With the ESRC funding, I'd be poor as an aspiring-middle-class church mouse.
But, whatever. Am slightly freaking out, and allowing myself the space to be very chuffed indeed :D
