Data Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 Another milestone on the way to getting a PhD... my corrections were accepted today. So that means I've got nothing more to write, no more exams, no work to do. Only arranging to have it printed, and bound, and a few little forms to fill in. And then there is a graduation ceremony, which I am not going to (I'll graduate in absentia). Oh, and I'm giving a talk to the staff and research students at my university on the 16th April about my research! I'll be celebrating over the weekend .

Data Posted March 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 Well done what do you study? x Computer science/artificial intelligence. I did something quite unusual and specialist, so I'm not going to say exactly what. There are some 2-word phrases that you can put into google and I come back as the first hit lol.

Liciane Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 Thanks Data!! Enjoy your weekend and have a good celebration!! I think, for us, who have special feelings and moods, get a degree like this is more challenging. Last year, I had a very important crisis I felt very bad, wanted to die many times. I told to my supervisior and some of my collegues, but they didn't understand me. Last year was a very lonely year with my personal things and also to my Phd. This year, I'm little bit better. But, you know, I always feel better when I'm studying or doing my research. Two doctors recomends me stop with my Phd for a while because of BPD...but I keep going with my life, I think it was the best way for me- keep doing things that makes me valuable and happy!!!! Best!!

Data Posted March 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 Thanks everyone. I am going to the printers/bookbinders today to collect the printed copies, which cost me £60 EACH!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiggsy Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 Awsome and congrats!! £60 each?? wooooaaahhh ... hope they look dam good for that money lol!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Data Posted March 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 They do look good. I packed up 2 copies in a box today along with the forms and an electronic copy on a CD. I am going to send it special delivery tomorrow. I have found one mistake; the title page says "October 2012" (which is correct) but the spine says "2013" (which is wrong). I am hoping they don't notice, otherwise... its £65 a copy to have it reprinted! I am going to take my copy into work tomorrow to show off .

Data Posted March 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 Well the university has told me the thesis will have to be changed because of the incorrect year on the spine. However, they are hoping they can glue a new spine on top of the old one. What a pain !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Data Posted March 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 Have received an email today saying: "The pro-vice chancellor for Research has approved on behalf of the senate, on the 25th March 2013, that you be awarded the degree of Doctor of Philosophy".
