The road is long...

At long last, I'm finally at the stage of reading through my entire thesis as a single unit. I had been thinking that I could submit soon after that, but alas, no. One of my supervisors is jetting off overseas and won't be in a position to sign off on it for almost two weeks *sigh*. This morning's info at the Research Careers week seemed to ring true - the date you specify as the submission date almost never eventuates into reality. In my case, it'll be about a month after that *another sigh*.

But this need for me to read through the whole thing...in short, it's a tough ask. I haven't read it all at once before. I'll be making notes in the margins of the little things I need to change - a different preposition here, a forgotten symbol in the list of symbols there. Then, I'll go through and actually make those changes, and then I'll fix up the page breaks. But, back to the reading I mentioned. I'm considering using the library. It's just too noisy here, with people talking loudly and other students typing overly loudly (I've mentioned the Mavis Beacon thing before) - it's too hard to concentrate here when I need to concentrate the most.

I am however interested in the "Generic skills" seminar at 4pm, so I might find a convenient point to stop reading and go to that.
