I've been thinking for a while now about aiming to complete a Masters at some point.  I do miss the continual learning from my degree and while I am quite happy in my job (and law is challenging), I would like to aim to complete a Masters as a personal ambition of mine.  I don't think it would be something I would be able to do within the next five years or so as I want to get my own place/cat/car first and possibly move away from London.  That way, once I've got those big investments out of the way, I could start a part-time Masters for my own enjoyment.  While I adore literature from all periods, it is the Victorian (1860s through to the fin de siecle) that has always truly captivated me.  When you feel that you know certain books inside out, writing about them is wonderful, and I miss that.  I adored working on my dissertation (going back five years since I was at Uni) for the research side and this is why I feel that a Masters would be a wonderful ambition to aim for.

One slight flaw to this plan - the most appealing Masters programme in Victorian Literature is at the University of Liverpool.  And while studying up north was wonderful, I want to remain in the south close to my family as this is where I intend to be based.  But I haven't yet found what I am looking for here at a University in London or the South East.
