Plotting...planning...procrastinating

Hello lovely flist.  Do you know it's been so long since I posted anything that the "post an Entry" box has changed and this is the first time I'm noticing it....

I have been lurking but I've been in dissertation completion mode for MONTHS.  I've finally submitted and now I'm kind of at a loss for what to do with myself!  I'm manically applying for jobs because the lack of money is easier to live with when you're studying but just really depressing when you're doing absolutely nothing!

I am still lurking in all my fandoms, followed Doctor Who, am very excited for the return or Melin, Supernatural, Hawaii Five-0 and Glee (seriously thank you television programme schedulers you are saving my sanity by keeping me occupied with your shiny shiny shows).  I've just done a massive Atlantis rewatch as well and thinking about due South next. 

I've an idea for a H50 video bouncing around in my head, and a couple of fic ideas as well which may see the light of day as I've got a bit of time on my hands in between job applications at the moment. YAY fandom contributions!

I've a question for my flist though.  I'm contemplating applying to some uni's to do a research degree.  I've no idea how to go about this though, should I apply to more than one uni?  Is it a good idea to base my proposal on my Masters thesis or will they frown on that?  Has anyone on my flist done a PhD and have some words of wisdom?
