Update: PhD
I was officially supposed to start on April 24th but I didn't receive the enrollment form until after that date (and after I'd left for the US). By the time I got the form, sent it to the UK, got details of where to wire the fee, etc, it was June. But as far as I know, I'm now officially enrolled.
The term ended June 30th so I guess I officially missed this term and am now on summer break before I've even started :-)
However, my supervisor, Professor Spencer, is running a course at the Australia Linguistics Institute in just over a week so my sister, Jenni, and I are flying to Brisbane to attend the Institute before flying down to Sydney to attend COLING.
Not only will Prof Spencer's course at ALI be a nice foundation for my PhD research, it will also be the first opportunity we've had to meet face-to-face.

Since you're studying at Essex, does that mean you'll being working with Lexical Functional Grammar? Or some other theory?
I've been interested in the application of LFG to NT Greek for some time now.

Wow, you must have bags of money! I can barely afford the train fare to visit my university (a mere 100 miles away). Think I've seen my Prof only 4-5 times in the past 6 years. I have to rely on email.
