Erk I have a meeting with my Sup on weds!
I have been waiting for a report from my viva which outlines clearly the corrections I have to make and was under the impression that the 3 month deadline doesn't start until I receive this report. I do believe the latter understanding is true... but apparently the report won't come for weeks yet! Eek! I will give birth in a matter of weeks!!
So am off up north (only an hour up the road) to meet with Sup so we can go thru the corrections and how to tackle them. It is the first ever meeting with him that I will not be nervous about! I am not joking (well, if you read this blog then I think you would know I always get very stressed about supervisor meetings!). Will be great to know what the corrections are properly because I was in a very stressed-out fog in the viva and nodded at everything ;0)
Sooo, am still in the game until I have sent my corrected edition off to the internal examiner (a scarily intelligent and exacting lady) and it has been approved. This in itself may take a couple of weeks depending on her availability etc so I have stopped thinking I am going to get this PhD completely wrapped up before the baby comes. But I don't have much to do - nothing that a week or ten days of a good blitz of working won't sort out.
I am not really tackling any of the corrections now even tho I could. I was doing an hour here and there in the evenings but am so tired and just don't care! I have allll day Monday sans Bean and DB so will just get my head down and get on with it all then. Before I see Sup I can do the corrections that the copyzone need me to do before it can be officially bound (pagination bla bla) and in the viva they said they wanted my translations to be in proper English, not 'indian-english'. So that is straightforward enough. There is deleting of repetition to be done apparently near the end and a sentence doesn't make sense - but there are virtually no typos or grammar issues :) I have to add some literature that I haven't so far which is fine and I hope it shouldn't amount to more than a day or two solid in the library... and the internal said that she will give me a reading list (because this lit is huuuuuuge and I didn't know where to start with it!).
Anyways. Am not off anywhere quite yet, still plugging away altho the pressure is certainly off (apart from the whole newborn baby bit!). I am looking forward to weds because it will be good to know how much I do have to do - and start doing it!
Oh -and THANK YOU for the congrats everyone! So lovely :)
