Dear all,

just wanted to share that today I have submitted my thesis! Cannot believe if after so much writing and rewriting. Nice to see the thing in print, quite proud of it.

Also managed to get through all the paperwork and forms, handed those in as well and it is only my supervisor who still needs to hand in some other document.

I am pleased yet also quite drained. Perhaps this is because tomorrow, by coincidence, I will be appraised regarding my current position, which can be quite stressful. Even so, very happy that I have come so far and now waiting for the outcome of the process.:-)

Gosh..:-s From the title of your message i thought you summited everest or something.

Good point!!

perhaps it is the exitement. I mean I have submitted!

Well done, Rick! Don't forget to take a break now, rest and reconstitute, before getting ready for the viva. Don't forget to let us all know when your big day is!

Dispatcher: too many Kalms and coffee or something? I'd love to read the conclusions section in your thesis, if that's the conclusion you arrive at from reading the thread title...;-)

Well done! Not surprised you feel drained. I felt numb myself for days afterwards.

Thanks Walminski and Bilbo,

yeah, like you indicated Bilbo, it is an unreal and a strange feeling.

I think you are right, good to have a bit of a break soon!

A Lots of lols and one lmfaowr as well. Whats the secret in Calms? I don't take it or drink coffee either.

Hey, congrats Rick, hope you have chance to chill out soon and enjoy the feeling! Best, KB

Congratulations! :)

Congratulations Rick. Best of luck with your VIVA. I can understand how much hard work and sleepless night you have to go through to be at a stage where your are now. Keep it Up.(up). I Just had a Kalm to Calm me down.

Hey Rick - that's excellent news! Take it easy, getting over the drained feeling can take a few days (or weeks?), all the best for your appraisal as well, and keep us in the loop re your viva!

Congratulations! I'm hoping to submit soon, maybe tomorrow once I've re-read the thesis! Hope you're having a well-earned rest 8-)

Thank you Poppy, Chris, Keenbean, Dispatcher and Squiggles,

thank you for your kind remarks.

Well done Rick, congratualtions... :)
