It really is! The whole process is a grind. Fortunately, I was able to avoid the one person who is a snarky jackass in my program, and was much happier for it!I'm sure it's a huge weight off your mind! My wife completed her doctorate 15 years ago this month, and that was a real grind for her (and me, who helped her with typing, editing and formatting! I used to be very familiar with APA-style citations and formatting). Her dissertation committee had two snarky jackasses, who made the final process far more difficult than it had a right to be.
Congrats again, Doc! If we all meet at a pipe show some day, it'll be like this...Having a bowl of McClelland's 2015 VaPer Flake in a Sasieni two-dot 1/4 bent brandy. Celebrating the final approval and submission of my dissertation for archiving, which means I'm DONE with this Doctorate degree!
