Yesterday I achieved what I had been waiting for so long to do - thesis submission! Here's how it happened: Firstly, I went through and did a final check for minor errors e.g. spelling. It was a good thing I did, because there were still two that I had Read More...
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 Read More...

In a period of Dave Hughes-inspired anger, I think I'm about to lose it. I have just received comments back from a large chapter, one which I thought was almost the best. Unfortunately, there are more than 85 things still wrong with it, according to my Read More...

Today marks 500 days since I officially began writing my thesis. Notice that I didn't say that I've been writing for 500 days, because there are some weekends in there when I didn't do any writing. I really had hoped to have submitted before the big 500, Read More...

I'm sorry to say, but today marks my 4 1/2 year mark of being a PhD student. And I am even sorrier to say today that my scholarship expired. So, I'm going to be 'roughing it' until I can find any sort of employment, the search for which is still being Read More...

I wonder if the stresses of PhD research was what Mylo had in mind when writing the song "Dr Pressure"? Somehow, I think not, but you never know... Anyway, I am starting to feel those stresses as I look at my diary this morning and realise I only have Read More...
The Final(?) Countdown

Cue the very 80s sounding music of the same title that has been used to death for just about every Australian election television coverage that I can remember. With some fair amount of horror, I realised today that I am meant to submit my thesis in 100 Read More...

And so I now have a hard deadline (although technically I had one before, just not so much in bold print ) to submit my thesis in the next six months. With that realisation comes pressure...pressure to get it done, so that all my supervisors (and I guess Read More...
