Positive vibes, this way!
We travel down to London tomorrow so I can prepare with my supervisor for my viva (thesis defence) for my PhD, which is on Mondon afternoon. I'm completely terrified, and to cap it all I've been ill in bed all week, which has not helped me feel great about my preparation. So, any good thoughts in my direction on Monday afternoon would be more than gratefully received!

Minor Corrections only
Well, they gave me a good run for my money in a couple of areas, but were very enthusiastic about the ideas in the thesis, which is what matters after all.
I have a string of typos (never my strong point!) and a couple of things to add. This means that when I've done those bits and pieces (within a month) and my departmental examiner has approved them, I'll be Dr Zillah at last. I am obviously using it around the house until then
Oh, and we have to move house in that month too. Ah well, I never like things to be too straight forward!
Thanks for all the good thoughts, it worked!

Yay!
I think you can be Dr. Zillah here too!

Good luck!!! You'll do great!
Good luck Zillah!
You'll be just fine, I'm sure. I'll be thinking of you Monday and sending you 'success' vibes!
Sorry to hear you've not been well, hope you're feeling better soon.
Honey.
I'll send them, but you won't need them
Because you shall do fine.

Oh Wow!
If it helps, keep in mind that very rarely are you allowed to even *do* a defense unless your advisor is prepared to pass you.
You'll be great! Enjoy it -- from one Dr. to another, it may be the last time you have a room full of brilliant people whose sole purpose is to advise you on your work.

good luck!
even if you don't see this before your viva I shall be thinking of you.
You've probably been ill (in part) because you were worried about this, so hopefully you'll feel better afterwards. Remember, even if you feel you've fluffed it, no point worrying about it afterwards.
and commiserations on having to go down to London!
Kerri.
best of luck on the defense!
I know you'll do well!
late as always
but enthusiastic nonetheless - Congrats Zillah! You shoulda sent me the thesis to proof. Picking up other people's mistakes is my strong point (fixing my own problems isn't!)
how're you doing with the prep for the house move?
Kerri.
