i guess the thought is that it's some kind of a hazing or rite of passage...
i guess the thought really is that it is a bunch of work for the external examiner that they would really rather not do. so... if they can put you off... put you off... put you off... until they can say 'okay it's perfect whatever'. but they can't sign off on it until it is perfect (with typos and whatever) i guess...
so i have to push a bit about how i'll work my *ss off to fix everything up in a couple weeks...
but they will have to move, too, to get it done in 10.
i guess the initial reaction (unless it is perfect) is to try and delay for another 6 months or whatever. in the hope the internal examiner can do the work in getting it fixed up.
but that isn't going to get anybody finished on time.
so i have to bang on a bit about how i've worked really hard in a compressed time frame for this... so now i need other people to work a bit like that for us to get it done.
it'll be okay.
they are just making me sweat. but i guess they are sweating a little too... trying to get their report finished. trying to get the reccommendatio in (can't be done until the report is finished).
then i won't have to do anymore philosophy...
except you get 2 points for 2 publications so i'll need those... and probably easier for me to get philosophy ones than science ones... though i will look into summer scholarships for basic sciences will be up in the air whether i'll manage to get one of those... and also up in the air whether it will lead to anything publishable or not. but they pay okay which wil pay for some examinations so fingers crossed i get at least one...
back to memorising microbes and vitamins, i think. enjoy the work / stuff you get to learn... worked so hard to get to do it.
i swears getting started is the hardest
(don't hold me to that or try and prove me wrong).
