I just got an email from my supervisor saying that my thesis is almost there. About one more week of concentrated effort and then it’ll be done. Then I’ll have my final month to just proofread, check the citations, format and do all the frontmatter nonsense. I’m so happy I could cry.
dude, life post thesis is amazing. its not like you earn any more money or anything, but just NOT THINKING ABOUT YOUR THESIS is amazing. youre so close!
I’m already fantasising about all the things I’m going to do with all the time I’ll have once my life is no longer filled with existential dread. Mostly I just want to sleep and close all the fucking Taylor & Francis tabs that are open on my web browser constantly 😭
I have enjoyed the entire process and I love my research but I am just very much not having a good time at the moment. And from what all my colleagues tell me, when you start feeling like you want to die, that’s how you know you’ve entered the end game with it.
So cool. 😊👍
