Grast_girl Oct 2019 10:02pm, 8 Oct 2019 759 posts	0 Grast_girl Well done Fleecy. I was doing it the other way going to bed later and later, and getting up at 7. The last three days I had about 9 hours sleep total. Definitely don't open it for a week or two, get some sleep, some exercise and reconnect with people, then think about the viva, although I'm sure you'll be fine.

The Mighty Fleecy Oct 2019 7:41am, 9 Oct 2019 47,395 posts	0 The Mighty Fleecy I think it might be mid-December for my viva, hopefully before Christmas, and then corrections (not too many I hope!) and once the corrections are done you may call me Dr Fleecy Last night I remembered one embarrassing error in my thesis without even opening it. Sigh. I will not beat myself up about it, but remind myself that the examiners almost certainly had the odd dumb error creep through too. I'm off to Morocco on Friday so I will not be thinking about my thesis at all for a couple of weeks I think!
LindsD Oct 2019 8:37am, 9 Oct 2019 29,848 posts	0 LindsD None of the things I knew were wrong with mine were mentioned in the viva. A load of other stuff instead And if you get minor corrections you are Dr Fleecy straight away

PenW Oct 2019 7:21am, 28 Oct 2019 1,766 posts	0 PenW Wow well done Fleecy! I have to start thinking of potential thesis topics (MSc sport and exercise psychology)... Not quite sure what yet. Today’s lecture is on a topic I’m fairly knowledgeable about (possibly more so than the lecturer! ) (CBT skills for sports psychology - I have CBT qualifications and 18 years experience of CBT practice and am a CBT supervisor...) But I don’t know so much about the sports context
