And SUPERWELL DONE for no corrections - no-one in my department has done that for, oh, about fifteen years. I'm hoping I'll be the next one, but don't hold out much hope, really...!<br /><br />I'm three months into the fourth year of my PhD, and I both can't wait for it to be over, and am also dreading it. What will I do with my brain when it's not full of PhD??<br /><br />Anyway, I'm really impressed and I would definitely be interested in seeing your thesis. Good luck with everything!<br /><br />SarahAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8090221912619018343.post-42531708392407318862012-08-31T11:37:05.968+01:002012-08-31T11:37:05.968+01:00No problem at all!

I cannot begin to imagine the effort you have to muster day after day to complete this, but isn't there a saying about the hardest part of climbing a mountain being the bit just before the summit? Or perhaps a more appropriate analogy would be the transition stage of labour, the bit when women say they can't do it anymore. But you are doing it! And you're so nearly there. <br /><br />Here's a mantra that might help - it's from the mouth of a 4-year-old but I find it strangely soothing: "Come on myself, you can do it". Or my favourite reassuring line of all: Courage mon brave.<br /><br />I'm really looking forward to seeing you again some time in Bristol and toasting your brilliance xLottie Storey | Oyster & Pearlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15241271143427248493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8090221912619018343.post-91989814938144910142012-06-13T18:37:22.698+01:002012-06-13T18:37:22.698+01:00Congratulations!
