I finally managed to submit my PhD on Monday and can't quite get ny head around it. Is this normal? I am really pleased, and pulled out all the stops to do it, but I can't quite accept that it is finally in. All very odd, I thought I would be ecstatic!!! Maybe it is just the tiredness catching up with me!

Well done you!!!

If you don't mind me asking, what area was your PhD in? Did you manage to complete in 3 years?

Congratulations, fluffymonster! Well done you. Now tell us what you have been doing to celebrate since Monday.

Thanks, I don't mind at all. Mine was in psychology. I completed in 3 3/4 but was part time officially. It is confusing as I worked at the Uni as a full time research assistant for the first 3 years. There was a good overlap between my job and PhD. For the last six months I have taken a teaching position and chose to be only part time (in my job), so that I could finish off.

Celebration wise, lots! I was 30 yesterday and have been celebrating that also. I was adamant I would submit in my 20's, I managed it with 8 hours to go!!! Lots of late nights and working through in the last week. I am still off work today and am pampering myself this week with a Spa thing and weekend away too. All a bit crazy!

Thanks for the congratulations. You are all lovely and have been really supportive.

Yay! congrats fluffymonster

congratulations fluffy!

Cheers. I think I don't want to get too excited until the viva is over!!!
