Screengrab from my paper yesterday @ #SFS2021 - here I talk about the late Varda's commercial success compared to marginalised, overlooked women directors like Paula Delsol who struggled to gain recognition or transcend the patriarchal structural barriers in the film industry.
Going back to the first chapter I wrote in 2019 ready for some thesis structure planning/overhauling before writing my last chapter to get ready to submit the whole thing in the Autumn. Large margins and double-sided printing. 67 pages?! Quel beast! Red pen at the ready.
@emilylovesparis Rest well friend. I had it at the beginning of January. Symptoms were blocked nose, migraine, achy back and legs and general exhaustion which is still lingering. Take it very easy. Thinking of you xxx
Thesis Boot Camp starts in 20 minutes. The room I booked to work in with my writing buddy is in a building which is currently on fire. So you could say it’s going well so far.
@RuthCruickshank 8 fire trucks on the street next to my flat! Luckily not my building. So We’re working from my kitchen/living room today. Ryan has been locked in the bedroom!
@RHULDocSchool Another PhD buddy with the same end date as me has received the same one just now. Either there’s a glitch or we’re just THAT good that we’ve passed without even submitting…😅
Just had the most wonderful email from @RHULDocSchool congratulating me on finishing and inviting me to attend my graduation ceremony. I’m glad that they have this sort of faith in me given that my actual finish date is August 2022.
@rider_jon @ferry_swainson Even without the extension I’m wouldn’t have been due to finish until February 2022! Better get on to them! Wait…can I just show up in December and graduate anyway?!
