| So, I'm guessing we don't get the extension then? |
The deadline of doom fast approacheth and sooooo much work yet to do.
Preparing for my 1st year PhD board - interrogation by a panel of 4-5 academics who will have read my sample chapter, and also my extended proposal outlining the research, methodology, why there's a thesis-shaped hole in the field of research, and chapter headings and a brief precis of what will appear in each chapter, as well as an extended bibliography. Proposal's mostly fine and dandy, just needs tidied.
Chapter, however, is in its 3rd attempt; at least this time around I think I may have found the focus. Hmmm. Added to which I have been boxing up the books I keep on my desk in the office because our office is being refitted - fabulous timing. I shall be living in the National Library for the next several weeks. All this by way of saying I may not be around as much as I might normally be. 3 weeks and counting. I'm feeling the need for chocolate - or cupcakes.
*twitch, twitch*
Aaaaargh!

Gosh Nikki, sounds pretty gruelling. Hang in there, though, we have faith in you, your brainyness!
I'm sure you'll be fine.
Mmmm, I picking up that there might have been some hinting in my direction there....I will see what I can do!! Hope the move is going ok.
A different system of course, but I went three times through for my prospectus and then again for my first chapter. I know I took something from the earlier attempts, but I'm talking total re-writing. You'll be great, but it's tough going.
