I have to confess that I feel extremely awkward and nervous around my guide. Ever since my date with the dissertation started, I feel like I've been on a run. The immediate assumption is that the discussion with my guide will fit in comfortably within the one week on-campus schedule I seem to make every month or two. Now that the dissertation has been officially submitted in the Centre, I was only beginning to feel a bit relaxed right until the registration form was put in my hands. Once the blank spaces were filled, I scanned the page for required signatures and once again I saw a space meant for my guide. Being extremely apologetic for disturbing her, I asked Ma'am if she would be coming to the Centre anytime soon. I was scared that she would ask me to come by next week, which would mean I'd have to postpone my return tickets. But once again the gods (and the odds) have been in my favour. She said she would be in her office tomorrow around 10:30 am. This means that I need to have this one last meeting with her before I embark on another journey. While still being in two minds about pursuing a PhD, I am registering for the same because I have nothing to lose at this point in time. By winter, I should have it figured out so until then I am staying on.
