Diary Notes Before the Thesis Defence
Monday
Three days remain before the defence, and my desk looks like a paper avalanche. What I need tonight is sleep, not another rewrite of the introduction. It is the introduction that my supervisor praised last week, yet it is the introduction that I keep polishing from nervous habit.
Tuesday
The reason why I chose this topic was a lecture during my second year that challenged simplistic models of migration. What still excites me about the research is the voices of participants who trusted me with their stories. It is their trust that I must honour when examiners ask difficult methodological questions.
Wednesday
All I want today is a quiet library carrel and a working printer. It is the departmental printer that jammed twice this morning, and it is a patient technician who restored calm in the corridor.
