I have access to ProQuest through my daughter's uni - if you want to tell the title I'll have a look for you. Pm me if you'd prefer

Does your uni have access to ProQuest? If so, lots of full theses available there although for some, it's only the abstract.

Arts and Humanities Citation Index (aka Web of Knowledge) is the one I'm aware of; you need a uni sub, available at
www.webofknowledge.com

welcome to the madness, good luck; not sure about the blue head though :p

Thanks Cakeman, that's it exactly(up). Seems I got you your third star so at least I can do something right ;-)

Edit: have meeting with supv Thursday pm; now have to psych myself up for it!

Thanks Dr. Mak :-), that's good advice. Maybe to be fair to him he doesn't quite get how stressed I am as I do tend to internalise it and put my brave face on when I meet him. Thanks Skig as well - I have asked for a meeting htis week, waiting on a reply...

I'll keep you informed

Really appreciate the advice all :-)

Good luck Sneaks, you'll do it. I was asked by my sister in law yesterday, "so did you get your papers in - how long are you at it now?" She also told me about people I don't know (her husband's two second cousins!!) who got doctorates recently but I knew from what she was saying that it was a degree they got, not a PhD. I didn't bother correcting her :-(

Congratulations Dr. Mak, now you can truly relax (up)

Thanks KB - tbh while I may tweak here and there, that's what I'm doing at the moment - tweaking - and so I don't see that there will be a whole lot of difference between now and then, except for my sanity! So yes, I emailed him and told him - here's hoping...

that's annoying Sneaks, wonder if your supvervisor and mine were separated at birth??

Thanks Sneaks, Delta and Caterpillar.

I am going to grasp the nettle and tell him, yes tell him that its September or nothing. I am also going to ignore the question about latest submission date!!!! Not very mature I know but needs must.

I did click the helpful user button but it seems I have voted for you all in the past! So a virtual pressie each

I sent my supervisor my 3rd draft this morning, we had verbally agreed that I will submit on/before 30 Sept. He has just replied promising to revert to me within max a week but also asks when is the last date I can submit without incurring additional fees. This is actually the end of Oct. However (and this is one of those desparate posts) I genuinely don't think I can emotionally take any more. Neither, I don't think, can my family. Apparently my mother and hubby are in phone contact about me lately! If I don't submit by end of September I don't know what I will do. Any advice how to tell my supervisor this? It's a long time since I bawled out loud as I did when I read his email.


(turkey) Help

emailed draft to supv and promptly went and bought myself a pair of shoes. I've done this with each draft I have completed so am building up quite a collection - what will I be like when I submit-submit?:p. Hope you get yours in too Skig.

me too Swetchha and Sneaks, me too :-(
