Hello! Do you want news?
My thesis is done (yeah!!!!!), but I'm still working on my file. When I came back from the printers shop yesterday, with the 6 copies of my thesis, I realised that there were still some mistakes and errors in the pages layout. So, I'm still working on it and Monday, I'll go back to the shop to ask for a reprint. I'll see you soon!

That's great to hear, Karine. You made it!

Take some time and relax first though, to clear your mind, so you can look at it from a fresh perspective. Have a nice weekend, in the meantime.

Hi guys! Let me introduce you to my thesis!

I printed 6 copies of the thesis, 4 for the jury and 2 for me. I worked a lot in the last days and I barely had time to sleep, but it was worth it: 484 pages, recto verso. It includes more than 30 pages for the bibliography and 8 pages for the index (of proper names and of principal themes). I arrived in Bordeaux this afternoon, to give the final .Doc and .Pdf files of the thesis to the PhD office. So now it's official, no more writting!
I'll have to prepare the thesis defense, which is going to be in July, but at least I can take a few days off

that's pretty huge Karine!!
I'm happy that you finally finished your writing! Congratulations for your dedication and effort, it's not easy and it's not any person who does something like this... now you'll have some time to take a breath and relax too ^^

Congratulations Karine! That's quite an impressive book you've written. I know you've worked very hard and now you can relax a little. Are you going to publish it in the academic press?

Congrats Karine! Glad you finished it all, it looks really impressive And now take some days off yes!

[Karine]

Thanks a lot guys!! I'm really happy about it! I'll stay in Bordeaux this week and I'll go back to Paris for the last time, in June, to prepare the defense. I have a lot to do. For example, today I'll visit the room for the defense. I hope it's going to be fine.

It's been ages since my last post here. Mais où sont les neiges d'antan?

It seems that I'll watch the World Cup games in my bedroom... 15 days without touching the floor with my left foot. I broke my little finger accidentaly by stumbling at my bed base :/

And another news: I officialy entered to the geek club... started to wear glasses this week now I can see the new world by the lens

Oh poor you! Did you see a doctor? Do you have a plaster cast around your foot toe?
I didn't really plan to watch the World Cup games this year because I have too much to do with my thesis and everything. When will it begin?
If glasses = geek, there are a big bunch of geeks in this world

My mother and sister bought their flight tickets yesterday, so they'll be with me for the thesis defense, yeah! We asked my brother once again if he wanted to join us with his girlfriend, but he said that it wasn't possible (work, cost, etc.). So it'll be only the 3 of us (with my friends).

Yes Karine, the doctor gave me 15 days off... My foot is immobilized with a pretty tight band aid. The games will begin tomorrow, is a big mess in my city, the opening will be is São Paulo.

It's good that you will have your family around support to this, it certainly changes everything!
