I have gone through it all, and I think it is all done?
I have done the pagination (three times!). I have checked through the thesis time and time again on 'print preview' which shows the whole page in one screen so I can see that the gaps between headings etc are fine, subheads are written properly (with capitals), and that there aren't any sneaky extra blank pages between chapters (there were two!). I have spellchecked, checked all the references in the footnotes and gone through the bibliography to make sure it is alphabetical. I have also filled in the blank refs I had lazily left so it is all referenced.
I am not too sure what else I can do! It is all diddly done! I haven't read through it good and proper so will probably do this on Saturday if I feel the urge. To be honest I have edited and checked through each chapter so many times I just have to let go at some point and trust that I have done it thoroughly! Anyway, I will definitely leave it today and tomorrow and if I feel I need to will come back to it on sat and sit and have a read through. I would like to do this before sending it off, but not to edit as such, just to (skim) read through it. Am sure there will be some amendments but am not going to add anything or do anything that might affect the lovely layout and shape it has now!
So... Before I send it it needs to be put into a pdf doc, which means it can't be changed. Then I just email it off! I'll probably do this on Sunday if the read-thru on sat is trouble-free.
Is lovely to have a few days before having to send it, so I can mull things over and make sure I am happy with it. It is done tho, really. If I had to send it now I would be quite happy to do so (although I think I would wish I had done a final read thru).
Bizarre!
