rhondacrockettHello again, folks. Having submitted the thesis, I took some time off. Thank you all for your messages of congratulation, they were warmly appreciated.
It's not all over yet. I've got my viva - kinda an interview/oral examination - in November, before they'll give me my doctorate, so I have to start preparing for that, reading up on every last point they might try to trip me up on. Oh the joy!
Plus I'm back teaching again this year. And Leon wants me to help put together an exhibition at the Dickens Museum to promote the Clarendon edition of Our Mutual Friend. I'm looking forward to that.
I'm still living at home but with teaching and this other job I'll be in Belfast a lot and will hopefully have more time to hang out. At least all that damn writing is finished with (unless they send me away from the viva with a ton of rewriting - eep!).
