The final stages of my honours thesis

I started my honours thesis in June of this year and it's now almost complete. My desk remains a mess while I tidy up loose ends, making sure that chapters and paragraphs connect to one another in a way that makes sense.

My supervisor has been a great help showing me where my work needs improvement and also where it's strong and purposeful. I often waffle, which leads to a lack of clarity. I now have just one paragraph to write in the body and then I'll work on the introduction and conclusion.

So, what's next... PhD? :D

Well done on finishing - feels pretty good, hey?

To see that you've kept your blog up makes me feel bad about neglecting my PhD blog... but the second coming of the Academic and the Fool will soon be here :)

Thanks Erin. PhD. Hmmm, not sure I've got it in me at this stage. I'll see what mark I get for the thesis and go from there. All the best with the blog renewal.
