This is really weird...
but after I had written earlier all the things I need to do I closed my laptop and thought that it cannot be right. I must have a LOT more to do... I thought and thought and went through my list of chapters but really, I have written everything in rough (bar the one chapter I haven't written yet but that will be ok... Am actually hoping I won't have to write it or that it will be a mixture of other, unused work) - even the abstract. 2/3s of the refs are in endnote (though am sure that will be a fucker when it comes to trying to organise the biblio) and really, it is all doing ok considering I have 9 weeks until submission...
And I can't believe it! I haven't noticed getting to this stage at all but at some point I stopped having millions of chapters to write, but I am sooooo used to having to do sooooo much work that it seems alien to me to think I only have a bit more to do! but of course I do, and one day I won't have *any* more to do!
It gives me shivers to think! I must be nearly there. I know editing will throw lots of surprises at me I don't yet know about... but I have time. Not lots, but if I keep plugging away it should be ok. I am not saying I won't have a stressy breakdown or two along the way. But I am not saying I can't do it either.
I might do it.
I might!
Oh, and today I realised I ought to send off my 'intention to submit' form to uni so they can get my examiners together. And I am now going to email the uni hub who deal with our binding etc and ask if it is ok to send it in on Xmas Eve. Oooh!
