Now its only Friday, Saturday & Sunday left to work on the thesis. I have spent most of the day (and night) editing the thesis. To be able to find many of the small errors I have missed despite several readings of the text I am now using the text to speech tool on my mac and following on a printed version on the text. Editing by listening is a very, very effective method of catching out the small typos. I have done half the text in this way and will do the other half tommorrow. The editing has resulted in the removal of some text but I still have increased it by 88 words (total 94969).
I will also meet my supervisor tommorrow afternoon to get his final thoughts on the text so that I can spend the weekend editing. On Monday morning I can finally let go of the text for almost two whole weeks. So tired…
