I have submitted my PhD.
This momentous event occured on 17 April. As I walked back across campus, I felt tired unto death. I was having trouble putting one foot in front of the other. Yes, I was getting sick.
I have been sick, sicker, sickish and sick again since. A virus turned to asthma and a bacterial infection, followed by more asthma.
But I am improving. And the monkey of the thesis is off my back.
Now I just have to wait until the examiners have pronounced.
Congratulations!! That's very exciting.

Well done!! I was just thinking that I hadn't 'heard' from you for a while, checked you out and lo and behold YOU'VE DONE IT! I've heard of so many people getting sick once they've submitted. Congratulations.

Almost every one I know who has completed a PhD thesis ended up being very sick as soon as they turned in their thesis. I HOPE IT IS ACCEPTED WITH VERY MINOR EDITS and you can return to being a human being. Good for you for hanging in there this long with the darn thing. Best - Hester in Atlanta
