PhD viva voce: It’s finally done!

It’s now three days after my viva and I’ve almost managed to mentally process the outcome. I passed, with no corrections! Here, I’d like to share how I spent the hours leading up to the viva and my actual experience of defending my thesis. 

I’ve just submitted my thesis. What now?

Last week I submitted my thesis. No hoopla. No fanfare. No round of applause. It was merely a matter of printing four copies, getting them bound, then dropping them off at the reception desk of a university office building. Quite an anti-climax really. And I have no idea what comes next.
