You know - these past few days I have been thinking about where I will go once I finish my master's degree. And I've been thinking a lot about studying in Merrie Olde England. So then I got to thinking - what about doing that Rhodes Scholar thing? And the more I read about it, the better I felt about my chances.

Then I got to the fine print - and the rule that nobody over 24 is allowed to apply. It's probably for the best - since I don't, or rather I shouldn't, need a degree from Oxford to validate myself - but it sure would have been a blast. I wonder if they'll consider upping that age limit for next year.

Hmmm ...

Meanwhile I have 5 years to apply. ... No one over 24? I thought that Bill Clinton character did one that one time? Was he under 24 at that time then?

Yeah, I guess he had to have been. Well, I wrote to the American Secretary and this is what he said:

You would not be eligible under our current rules and no exceptions have been made. There is the possibility that there could be a change in the rules in the next two years. If that happens, it would be noted on the web site, or check again with me.Is he trying to tell me something?
