			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Greetings, after a bit of a hiatus from me may I present a <a href="http://www.wordle.net/">wordle</a> word-cloud of my thesis in its entirety. Woo hoo!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-276" title="WORDCLOUDpHd" src="http://www.peacockbird.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/WORDCLOUDpHd.tiff" alt="WORDCLOUDpHd" width="400" height="300" /></p>
<p>I&#8217;ve had a crazy e.o September updating, re-drafting, and proofing, working  late into the night most nights. It really brought home the notion that writing a thesis is sometimes an endurance test. By Thursday morning of last week when I was sat with the reprographics guys watching it fly off the press, I felt v wobbley; something close to acute jetlag. ( note to self: don&#8217;t try and make an original contribution to knowledge on 4 hours sleep).</p>
<p>And, I was so tired after I signed off all the paper work, I celebrated by going home , eating a take-way curry with the Italian, and sleeping for a gargantuan 14 hours.</p>
<p>Finally 2 bound copies of the actual thesis  are with the academic registry. Yes sireeee! And just in the nick of time with only 3 days off, before teaching started.</p>
<p>Hopefully in the next few weeks or so, I shall post some reflections on the process and the trials and tribulations of submission.</p>
