All done!

Well I finally did it, I have submitted the final version of my PhD thesis to the university as well as the organisation who funded me. I have received a letter saying that I've met all the requirements for the qualification of PhD and now the only thing I need to do is register for graduation and actually graduate. On one hand it is fantastic to be done, on the other hand the process dragged on unnecessarily so it almost feels more of a relief to be done rather than a celebration. I am looking forward to graduation especially since several of my friends who also did PhDs are going to be graduating as well.

Me and my four copies of my hardbound thesis

In other news I am still unemployed! Unfortunately I didn't get either of the jobs I had interviews for that I mentioned in my last update. That said I have had another interview since then that went well and I have another one next week. I guess I should be reassured that I am being invited for interviews. I have also started talking with an advisor from an organisation called Action on Hearing Loss about ensuring that there are no issues at interviews in regards to my hearing/communication as well as other things.

Thanks for reading.
