    I'm all done with my 15,000 word dissertation even though I have three weeks left. Just hope it was worth all the effort and time.

    After all the worry about potentially having a rubbish and bare bibiliography, mine now stands at 43 items and I have plenty of references throughout I'm feeling better about that now!

    One chapter and a tiny bit to go on the editing front, so hopefully finish all that by Friday and then just the conclusion to write! I'm still about 100-200 words over my limit at the moment though and still have the conclusion to add..issues...I have already cut out 1000s!!! Gah!

    My tutor just granted me an extension for my report because my exam timetable is horrific. Which means I have an extra 7-8 days to revise for exams and I have until the last day of term to hand in my report :woo:

    Haha, I did that with last year's dissertation thread.

    It's a lot of work but as long as you make sure you start researching and reading early and leave enough time to correct mistakes, revise and edit, you'll be fine

    Emailed a re-draft to my supervisor earlier. Am about 1,500 words over, and dissertation is unconcluded at present. But feels so good to have it revised! Onward to the next set of essays >_<
