I just sent the PDF of my thesis to the copy shop. I’m hoping they can make me five copies tomorrow so I can take it up to the university tomorrow afternoon so I can enjoy the rest of the weekend before going to the university pedagogy course in Alver from Mon-Wed and then flying to MelbourneDAC on Thursday. Phew!
I have no idea whether it’s good or bad at this point but there aren’t any more red notes to myself anyway, and thank goodness I chopped out that pretentious bit in the introduction. It starts off with David Still. Oh and I’m so sick of it I don’t even care if it’s so bad they laugh at me during the defense so long as I don’t have to write any more thesis.
Of course if they fail it I’ll not be so happy. But I’ve seen some pretty lousy PhD theses, heck, if they passed, I will.
The defense will be public, gruelling and several hours long, according to Norwegian traditions: you’re welcome to come but it won’t be for at least half a year.

Grattis! Bra jobbat! Fˆrsvaret kommer du klara galant. Har du nÂgon bra opponent?

Confetti! ooh! What a wonderful idea!
And Gustav, the opponents (there’ll be two, at least one and probably both will be from outside of Norway) haven’t been organised yet, but the names I’ve heard suggested are great – it would be wonderful to have feedback on my work from people like that!

Grattis! Jeg bare M? f vite nÂr disputasen er. Er litt smÂspr¯ for tiden fordi jeg m ha prosjektbeskrivelsen ferdig innen 16.mai, men s skal jeg til Bergen p workshop om blogging. Synd at du er i Australia p den tiden. By the way, the Trondheim group has converted to movabletype.

Hmm. Only 5 months – 10 days to go for me. I was selfishly hoping that you and Lisbeth would still be working while I finished mine, but now I’m on my own 🙁
Tillykke!
