Thanks. It is very reassuring to know that I am not experiencing anything dramatically differently from what would be considered normal.
Yep, all perfectly normal! Once you start doing conference papers and additional non-thesis related academic activities, these also throw the time line out. So you need to be a bit flexible, and just go with what's happening, but try and stick to your broad plan.
