I was wondering if anyone had advice about postponed vivas. Mine should have been last week but my external examiner was in hospital so the viva is indefinately postponed.
Despite emailing my supervisor (who is on sabbatical) over two weeks ago I have heard nothing.
I have sent a message saying maybe I need to change examiners and also giving a range of dates that I could attend a new viva, but nothing........
I am now in the hold pattern above the airport of life and frustrated about the whole situation.
I am unable to go to my department head as that is my supervisor, and my second supervisor is away on maternity leave.
I am sure I am not alone in this crazy situation, and after the long days of thesis writing it did not expect this. I guess this is even worse as I feel powerless.
I have been fortunate that the rest of my PhD experience has been really positive, but the last 5 months it seems like my department and supervisor can't be bothered with me and my research. ARHHH
Anyhow just knowing I am not alone in this would be great.
Thanks
