Who would fardels bear?

I want to go to King's College London! They have this lovely Lit course that works with the Globe Theatre! The Globe! And next month one of their professors is releasing the edition of Hamlet! I think we should just put Hamlet on hold and ask Mr Smith to move on to Macbeth first while we wait for the definitive version, haha. Argh... London is sooo tempting. But it's sooo expensive! 10 to 11000 POUNDS PER ANNUM. That works out to around 30 000 Sing dollars per year. And that's just the tuition fees. Living costs are around 8000 pounds. So if you do the math, studying in London for a three year course should run up to nearly 180 000 Sing dollars. NUS looks dismally dreary, small, local and unglamarous after today...

In other news, another member of the PAP Old Guard has died. I've edited out my following comment for fear of recrimination. The perils of living in Singapore...

Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, or to take arms against a sea of troubles, and by opposing end them.
