I've been accepted for the M.Litt in Early Modern History. My undergraduate degree, surprisingly enough, was very much history-focused.

My main interests are in Renaissance and Early Modern Italy so I'll be focusing my studies on that period as much as possible. I'll also be doing Italian language and palaeography. I speak a little Italian at the moment and am working on improving. I've also done a little palaeography at theNational Archives of Scotland and since Italians were using the much easier to read Italic hand from the Renaissance onwards, I'm optimistic in that department.

In five months' time I will be taking a career break (or handing in my notice, depending on how that conversation goes) and starting a Master's degree at the University of St Andrews. I'll be moving into Halls, leaving my partner in Edinburgh and visiting most weekends. The cat's going on sabbatical to my mother's.

This blog is somewhere for me to go on, endlessly, about my plans, preparations and general obsessing about the course.
