Well hurray!
I had The Email from Sup I have been dreading all weekend about my revised intro chapter, the one I literally sweated and toiled over in three ddays of intense working last week... and although he is quite doom and gloom about it being a lot mroe owrk to do, from what I hjave just printed out it looks like all I have to re-work is one section of the lit review (which i am choosing to re-work more than anything) and lots of deleting and replacing of clunky phrasing :) This is AMAZING!
What a result! At worst I thought it would come back unmarked with Sup having given up on me. At best I hoped it would need the lit review properly re-written again with comments about how I have missed this/that lit. Trips to the library etc etc... but it is ok! he said it is 100% better than before and he is pleased but it needs to be 150% better! I thought, 'yay! but uh-oh' but really it is ok. I will have this fixed in a jiffy. It is a world away from the stress of last week.
Then he wants my conclusion re-worked (dreading this) asap so he can then go and hide :) I don't blame him for wanting to hide. And if that means he can let the stabilisers off my bike so I can freewheel my own way to the submission date that will be very exciting, eh?!
Another milestone reached I think :)
So far today then I have been doing loads of weird admin stuff: printing off the revised intro and a revised contents page, and sorting out the books I needed to buy, accidently finding refs to bolster a section of the lit review I am unhappy with and getting some maternity jeans! I have re-organised my desk so my thesis sits there, waiting to be worked on (bleugh but yay) and am ready to dive in tomorrow.
So pleased! So pleased! I bloody HATE the lit review! Can't stand it. Am glad we are parting ways this week :)
OMG this means that at the end of this week I will definitely have my first chapter properly ready for PhD submission! WOOT.
