Christmas is over and New Year's is yet to come, but in the advent of my next salaried position, I have gone shopping for post-graduate courses. Today I looked at lots and lots of diplomas and Master's courses and tried to decide what was more important - location, cost, accreditation from the Periodicals Training Council or the National Council for the Training of Journalists, length of course or destination of leavers. Top of the list is the highly-competitive course at City which, from its magazine option, inspired the likes of Jane "2008 Editor's Editor of the Year" Bruton. Bit too shy to strike out for that, this year.

Anyone else finding themselves at work again - job-hunting today or back in the office tomorrow?

Happy New Year for Thursday. Boyf's gracing me with his exotic presence tomorrow and so we get to make merry 'til next year - which means no updates for you lot. But I'll fill you in on what all my fellow English graduates are doing, and not doing, next time. x
