A Fellow’s First Steps

I like to think I made an exemplary start!

I’ve activated my email and library account. I’ve made contact with the library, and I’ve called up a book to be fetched for next week. I’ve also started a literature search for the topic I’m hoping to explore. Half of me considers it unlikely that the general topic hasn’t been covered, and the other half thinks it’s highly unlikely that my specific niche has been written about! If I can research and write an article during this Fellowship, I’ll have a significant output that will have drawn on St Andrews’ admirable library resources.

And of course, I don’t yet know what/how much will need revising in my book! That could be another major task for this autumn.

So far, so good. I have also achieved another personal goal. I wanted to see the sea at lunchtime. I did that, too!
