Yay! Joy is me!

Well, I'm one more step towards finishing my PhD, as I submitted my thesis on Monday. Now, all I have to do is wait until the viva (boo!) and then, hopefully, off to Japan in January

Congrats Porkov, and good luck with the viva. I suggest you play your internal examiner off the external one. If they're at each others throats they can't pester you with nitpicking questions. If that fails just punch one, knee the other, and in the confusion claim you passed.

My chances of ever writing a thesis look slimmer every day, so it's nice to hear I at least know someone who will get to call themself Dr.

Well, I had the viva today (December 16th) and the viva examiners will recommend to the University that I be awarded the degree of PhD.
Now, I have to do some very minor corrections (effectively typos and amend one statement in the thesis) and that'll finish that!

So, I am elevated to the righteous rank of Doom Lord and Chaos Lord General. After that, off to Japan in 4 weeks, to serve 8 months in Tsukuba (60 miles from Tokyo)

Congratulations!

(Even if it's only chemistry. )
