Finally, I can see the light at the end of the tunnel with my thesis. It has taken close to 6 months to write my phd thesis. Which works out to be about one chapter per month. For those that are doing a phd I would recommend that you start writing your thesis as early as possible! It will save so many headaches later on. It also helps to publish a lot early on in your candidature too.

I have a complete draft now and will work towards cutting the fat and refining each chapter over a number of iterations. I believe I am still on track to submitting my thesis by the end of January or early February. It all depends on when my superviser is able to review it and provide feedback. After which further modifications will need to be applied.

It has been a long and painful journey, much like conquering your Mt Everest of challenges. But when I get to the top of my Mt Everest I can finally look back at what I’ve managed to accomplish in the last four years, and find satisfaction in all the experiences that I’ve had along the way.
