    I've just sent my corrected Ph.D. thesis to my examiner for final approval.  The deadline for approval is Friday in order to make summer graduation and DH and I have already made our travel arrangements to go back to England for it which cost us around $3000.....  

    Praying that he approves it and it doesn't need anything else added/edited!

    Thanks ladies I am so happy....I was freaking out that he wouldn't approve it and was terrified to open the email when I got it yesterday.  So relieved.

    @momodbb it actually ended up being a lot shorter than I expected it be because my boss decided about a month before my original submission that it would be better to cut out two of my projects that I had included and just focus on the most important one.  In hindsight I think it was the right decision but I was seriously pissed at the time.  In the end the final document only end up being about 150 pages if I had included the other stuff it would have been closer to the 250 or 300 mark.
