Three weeks to go: IT IS DONE (pretty much)
Very short blog this week.
Four weeks to go: what I did this week
So, this week has been pretty productive.
Five weeks to go: It finally hits me.
I always knew this would happen eventually.
Six weeks to go!
The ‘approval of title’ form is done. I’m due to hand in my thesis on Friday 8th July. The countdown has begun!
No proper blog post this week
I’ve had a productive week - I’ve deleted a whopping 13,000 words of thesis, and I just need to add a couple of extra references and draft the cursed conclusion, and then full draft 2.docx will be done.
The End is in Sight!
Got my full draft back on Tuesday. No nasty surprises!
Local Population Studies ‘Perspectives on Childhood and Youth’ Conference, Rewley House, Oxford, 23rd April 2016
On Saturday, I spoke and listened at the above conference. All the papers (hopefully including mine!) were really interesting.
Death By Conference Paper
It’s taken me the best part of a week to write a 30-minute conference paper, and I’m really annoyed that it took so long.
Can I just be a doctor now, please?
I have reached that fabled stage of the PhD. The one where you’re sick and bored of the sight and existence of the thesis.
#storypast: Common People, by Alison Light
As promised last week, this week’s blog is about the ‘Storying the Past’ session me, Helen Rogers, and Simon Briercliffe ran at the Social History Society conference, concurrently with a Twitter conversation.
