The end of March turned out to be a bit stressful as my supervisor was so busy with exam marking that he couldn't read my thesis until the Easter hols which didn't start til April I wasn't exactly impressed by this but there was nothing much I could do. Yes, I could submit it wihout him having read it but I don't want to wreck our relationship. I have been granted another month of interruption, this means that this phD had taken four and a half years. This interruption was granted on the grounds of my supervisor being busy rather than on medical grounds like the iinterruptions I actually wanted. I haven't heard anything from him yet and I'm hoping that's a good sign. I wanted to get my thesis submitted before I started work and also the end of Marh gave me time to get everything done in time to graduate this summer. If I submit at the end of April then it's just about possible for meto graduate this summer, if my examiners manage a turn around of a month, which i consider rather unlikely.
Still, that frustration is rather an aside as I have now started work at the Met Office. I started two weeks ago and am still in the stage where everything is new and shiny. I am really enjoying it.
