How I did it
How to finish my PhD
It took me
6 years
It made me

How I did it: I did it the hard way. Kept my values and integrety. There are easier ways if you can be more "diplomatic" and less pragmantic.As a PhD student you will often be treated as less important than... well anything. Dont let get you down. Be prepared and build your defences. Read how I did it…

Finish my PhD (read all 12 entries…)
Done! 13 months ago

More than 2 months after I resubmited my PhD thesis I recieved THE letter I have been waiting for for more than 2 years.

I am done! It was not a fun part of my life. I dont recommed anyone doing it. If you are already doing it I would be happy to help you.

I will write a bit more another day… once I understand what this means.

All the best to you all. Thank you for your support over the last many many months.

Finish my PhD (read all 12 entries…)
Happy day! 16 months ago

I have resubmited the thesis on time! I have not slept more than a couple of hrs per day for more than a week… but its in. Now I will wait for the examiners’ report. Hopefully it will be a yes and then I will be done!

I still cant belive I have actually made the corrections, it was painful. (if you have never read anything from me this probably does not make sense, read one of the earlier entries and you will understand).

Cheers to all!
