I was over the moon yest...Thank you all very much. I was over the moon yesterday and today I'm trying to hold on to the feeling. <br /><br />Nezumi-san: Sent!!!! As for the next step, well, I'm looking for work.<br /><br />Ellen, I would kill for a teaching position. Any ideas? :-)<br /><br />Janet, Thank you. I was scared to death - in my mind I was imagining all sorts of terrible scenarios. I think that's called "Living in the wreckage of the future." :-)<br /><br />Andrew, Can't thank you enough for your encouragement.<br /><br />Deborah, The Distinction was the cherry on the cake. It was suggested to me very strongly that I needed that in order to be considered for reputable PhD programs so you could say the pressure was on.<br /><br />Mom, Thank you for so much but especilly for teaching me to love books and encouraging an inquisitive mind. Love to you and Ben.<br /><br />Leslie, Completely understand about deadlines and being close to a breakdown. I wondered if the exercise was sharpening my mind or causing me to lose it. They put the fear of God in us about the deadline (and also about plagiarism.) Late (if they decided to accept it at all) meant that there were only two grades possible: Pass with a 50 or a Fail which is below 50. It would not have mattered one whit how good it was and I can't imagine the effect that the lowest possible Pass grade would have on any prospects for a PhD. Ouch!<br /><br /><br />Victoria FERAUGEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16319699673885400472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2424131704277823220.post-20859048244616584802017-06-22T02:05:44.696+02:002017-06-22T02:05:44.696+02:00As one who has not yet figured out how to let/caus...As one who has not yet figured out how to let/cause determination to triumph over doubt in time to meet a deadline (and barely in time to avoid physical or emotional/intellectual breakdown), I send a very heartfelt Congratulations! You, and many re-readings of this post, will be a very valuable inspiration for me in this battle. You deserve every bit of the joy of accomplishment that you already feel and will feel when graduating, with Distinction, in the Canterbury Cathedral.

I'd...Congratulations!! A Distinction no less!<br /><br />I'd definitely be interested in reading the dissertation.<br /><br />As for whether/where/how to publish it, that may be a good question for your advisor.<br /><br />The big question of course is, what's next? :-)<br />Inaka Nezuminoreply@blogger.com
