This is just a post to say, YEEHAH!! today I woke up with the thought that I really was finished and amazingly my supervisor rang today to tell me she was happy to sign my submission form.
So, tomorrow I go in, after one final check to see all forms, bits and pieces are done, I print off my three copies and I post it in.:-)
I was so happy this afternoon, then the cat did something to my kitchen tap and we had a major flood and the plumber had to be called, but even after being soaking wet on a cold spring day and realising that I would have to get new flooring for the kitchen couldn't ruin the moment.
Anyway, tomorrow I submit, wait in agony for 6 to 8 weeks and hopefully receive a promising mark. Then I have the equivalent of a long weekend before work starts up and I can really work on some of those workplace projects I have been putting off or to the side.
Depending on my results, I have definitely not ruled out doctorates but I do think I need some time off to focus on my work, my family, relationships and life AND something I am almost as proud of, yesterday I ran for 4.75 k's at about 10.3 ks an hour. Could have done five but after the warm up walk my time on the treadmill was over (gym only gives you a short bit of time on each machine). But I am determined to hit 5ks twice a week and begin competition running.
Anyway folks, thanks for support, for reading (or not reading) my rants and general blahhh-you may hear from me again later on down the track when I take up study again-I will-just not right now.
This last stint of study has been 5 years while working full time (two qualifications hence the time) and it is time for a break.
Lots of luck and good wishes to you all,
