Corrections done and dusted, took six months to produce an extra 61 pages with three more experiments in the lab. Got them signed off this week. Graduate in January!

Humanities. Passed my viva with no corrections. Emotionally drained, happy nonetheless.

I passed with minor corrections on 06 March 2014! Congrats to all other Doc out there who have passed recently too! J.

Yesterday, 20/5/14 I passed my viva (with amends.... Boooo). Can I call myself doctor yet or do I have to wait until I submit my revisions?

Passed my viva in December, final (minor) corrections signed off in February, went to the graduation ceremony which was totally worth it--it somehow gives some closure to the whole PhD saga and lets you move onto the next phase of life, whatever that is.

Four years part time, now I can finally put the Dr. on my name and move on on my academic path, finished!!
