Pray for me...

[Dudley]

Well, she can now go on to become a lecturer.  If she had been badly "referred" (= told to go away for a year and a half and rewrite) she'd probably not have been able to get a job afterwards in the extremely competitive English academic market.

She's also trying to decide whether her first book will be on "Disintegration & Death at the end of the 20th Century" or "Women Writers and William S Burroughs", whereas if she'd failed or been badly referred she'd have been trying to find out how you sign on and what careers accept 28 year olds with no work experience.

So, all in all, a pretty big deal.  And to get what was described as "the best pass in 4 years" in English lit at her university DESPITE English being her second language - well, words fail me as to how cool she is.

Many thanks again to all boarders for kind wordsa and thoughts.

I`d go with Death and Destruction if I was her, but I`m sure she knows best. What is her first language?
  You are now obliged to give your life to the Lord, Missionary Man style. Or not, as you choose.

Missionary style?
