Penultimate stage

Finishing a PhD is a very long drawn out process, that only seems to start with the writing up. I finally had my viva last week (thanks Jon and David - I'm still astonished that anyone could claim to enjoy reading my dissertation!) and with (amazingly) only very minor corrections to do, I've been able to reprint and bind it already. Phew! Now I just need to track down the right person to hand it in to (more challenging at this time of year than one might think), and actually graduate, and then I'll be free of the need to choose between Ms and Miss on official forms...
