The Thesis...

Da da dum dum!

Well it is now October and 11 months since I should have submitted!

I had a good chat with H last week and she said that as I have medical certificates stating my caring for my mentally ill husband then I really can have as long as I like. Not what to say to a procrastinator like me! lol!

I am plodding along and really hope to be finished by the end of November.

My data is fantastic and I have lots of ideas flooding my head! I just have to write them down in a logical and sensible manner! And make a good argument!

My supervisor (H) would love me to go on to a PhD and I really want to one day, but not yet! I want to get into a classroom or two and be part of it for a few years. My love is pedagogy and I really need to experience it first hand in order to reflect on it and then write on it!

Surprisingly W has been really encouraging me to do it. He suggests I work part time and study part time. That is a possibility and one I will consider once he has finished his studies. I really need to get a scholarship, but they are only available to full time students and then I can only work 8 hours/week.

But first I have to finish this thesis, get a I or a IIA class and then get some supply work next year with perhaps a contract or two thrown in!
