When they finally announce the defense date- Do you
a) Jump with joy! The end is finally near
b) Panic- Now, where is that "book"? How much do you remember?
c) Regret- should have published a few more topics from the dissertation so that the criticisms from examiners will be less fiery.
d) Can't believe it! Is this the end???
e) Happy- time to allocate all the housework to the other half now that you need to "prepare for exams"
Is Phd the end of education, or just the beginning of education?

PhD thesis examination-Still going on?????
and on.. and on.
So, when will they finish reading my thesis?
Why cant they send out my thesis to examiners ASAP?
Why was there a 2 month delay between receiving my thesis and actually sending it out to the examiners? The post office was bombed? Give me a good reason.
Why are they telling me that examiners will need 4 months to read and do up my report, when they stated so boldly, black and white-2 months are the maximum?
[I am not suggesting a theory as dramatic as an gravity is an invisible force fulling the apple from the tree!]
When will my defense be?
Will I be able to join this summer's convocations?

Examinations on going
The examinations is on going. Yes, the finally sent me thesis out to the external examiners after letting them sit on the shelves to collect dust and grow mould.
It seems like they will take another 5 months to do up my reports, and then arrange for my defense. While they are going through all that, i have no mood whatsoever to take out my thesis and prepare for my defense will seems to be still so far away...
So, when will I ever get conferred with my PhD?
