Ponderings upon Calton Hill

It´s just one of those priceless moments.... So instead I´ll just sit here looking over Arthurs seat, in my secluded clearing, drink my coke and ponder upon the future with you guys...

So at the moment Halldór´s planning to get a job here for the next year or so and believes this to be fairly easy as things stand and me....

Anyways, we´ll see, I might apply for a couple of scholarships now (seeing as it seems one has to apply a year ahead) and maybe apply for, or rather inquire into the possibility of doing a doctorate at Sheffield seeing as they´re one of the few that have both a japanese department as well as folkloristics one.....
Don´t know though, is it better to continue at the same institution or would a change, a different university look better on the resume..? Sheffield does rank number 20 in the top 100 Universities in Europe... But then again Edinburgh ranks number 10...? Ponder ponder....
Closer to home in time and space is the fact that I need to prepare a paper pronto !! To be presented at the young folklorists´ conference here in Edinburgh next weekend.... It´ll be my first ever paper presented at a conference !! ;-P Something to put on the resume should I apply for further studies.. And the conference could quite possibly clear things for me in as much as I might meet someone who could guide me through this maze that is school ;-) What is more likely however is that I get new ideas for possible research project and complicate things still further ;-D
So you guys, any thoughts on the ponderings? Crazy Gaijin? Joe? Huld? Anyone?
p.s. All the pics were taken whilst writing this upon Calton hill ;-) more here..
