The defense went very well. It lasted two hours and 20 minutes. My presentation lasted almost an hour and the question time has also been very long.
According to the new rules of doctorate, I know that I am "fit" (no longer put notes) and in a few days I will be notified if I am or not "cum laude". Hopefully. In addition, the work has been considered fit to participate in the extraordinary doctoral award.
When I have rested a little, I will tell some other things.
I feel exhausted, almost exhausted. I just need to rest for a couple of days and I'll be like new, ready to start with the next thing.
Thank you all for your comments and your encouragement.
Now it is I who encourage you. Go ahead with your thesis. It is a brutal, and at times almost unbearable effort, but it is also a test of incredible personal and professional success.
From now on this blog will also include my experiences as a post-doc. See how things come.
I said, thank you all.
