Things have been rather hectic for the last few months, mainly because I’ve been finishing off my thesis corrections and also been very busy at work.
The good news is that my thesis is now finished! It went off to the bookbinders (all 366 pages of it) a couple of weeks ago and I should have a bound copy in my hands in the next couple of weeks. It hasn’t quite sunk in yet that it is finished - I suspect that will only happen when I have a copy of it all bound up! We are hoping to put together two journal papers in the next month or two, mainly covering the empirical experiment and analysis that we did.
The only disappointing aspect of my PhD is that I will have to wait until next July before I can graduate as I missed the deadline for the November graduations by a week. It wasn’t for want of trying though, but I was more concerned about getting everything right rather than rushing it and missing stuff.
Over the last couple of weeks I have been trying to get everything tidy and sorted out. Hopefully by the end of the year I can be properly organised and everything will have returned to normality. Not that I’m sure what “normality” is yet!
