I have a placement!!!!!

I had an interview today for a 10 month placement at a University funded by Alzheimer's Research UK. Half an hour after I arrived home, I received an email saying I had been offered the placement, and duly accepted! It still hasn't sunk in that I'm going to spend the next academic year conducting research into a novel mechanism for the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease, which could potentially lead to new therapies to slow it's progression - what a great thing to be involved in! Next I have to inform my University (and my friends) that I'll be undertaking a placement year, sort out finance for the year (not to mention accommodation) and inquire about obtaining a Home Office Personal Licence, which although not essential, would be useful for the placement. However, as I've been awake for over 17 hours, my priority right now is to get some sleep!
