Been a while since I dropped by. This is why:

I think we’re finally at submission day 😬

So excited for you! We’re all looking forward to you telling us that you’re Dr Omoikiri!

The thing I’m most excited about it closing all those physical tabs open on my desktop, as well as all the mental tabs I have open in my head. I’ve been running on 100% bandwidth for about 2 years and I can’t wait to finally be done.

That and the sweet pay rise I get once I’m conferred. 👌

once youve made that decision to submit, just hit that button and send your baby off! resiat the urge for "just one more check" :)

“Baby.” It definitely feels like that. It also feels like I’ve been pregnant for 41 months and i’m so exhausted and I’m just about ready to throw the whole thing out the window. Apparently that’s how you know you’re basically done.

Once I’ve sent it off, my supervisors want a version of the pdf for their reference. I’ve told them that even if they notice a typo in there, under no circumstances are they to tell me until I get my examiners report I can actually do something about it.
