had a meeting with Allan today - hooray hooray best news is that i will be able to list him as my supervisor eventually, in my CV :-)
he deserves that honour more than anyone else.
not sure how accurate this is, and i'm loathe to publicise this sort of thing, but with God's help i'll be able to submit my thesis for external examination within three months.
all in His perfect time, i say.
so now it's time for Allan to think about who my external examiners might be.
with regards the thesis itself, here are the main things i still need to do:
- rewrite the summary into an abstract
- i need still to work on my intra- and inter-chapter transitions
- i need to beef up my concluding chapter, making the links explicit between data, findings, theory, and application
- we've come up with new names for the discourse categories
i'll get to work :-)
