In the morning:
“S%8t, is this actually happening?”
“I could be a Dr. today”
“I could also completely and utterly screw this up today”
“I should have read my thesis another 4 million times before today”
“Will coffee make me too shaky? Will no coffee mean I fall asleep?”
In the room just before the Viva begins:
“I don’t even know what my supervisor is saying right now, I cannot concentrate”
“I bet I forgot something really important”
“Don’t trip up when you’re walking into the room”
“Don’t forget to smile”
“You got this”
During the Viva
**Blank thoughts** **Have no memory**
After the Viva
“I did it!”
phd, phd blog, phd meaning, phd viva, research, thesis, thoughts every phd student has, what is the viva like?
