Thank God for having my supervisor suggest a topic that fits my research, after having floundered about for a while! The conclusion is finally done, and awaiting to be commented upon. I thought it was a miracle for it to be completed today. The next step would be the abstract, to firm up some parts of the thesis, to trim off more than 10 000 words, proof-read, have the bibliography, abbreviations, contents done, etc. And hope to submit sometime end June or mid-July, after which there will be the viva, perhaps in early Sep.
In between, there is a 'Moving forward' Postgraduate conference, July 21-23, at Aberdeen, in which I will read a paper on the polemical depiction of the OT Jezebel (topic below*). I would also like to attend the British NT Conference also at Aberdeen, 3-5 Sep. Probably my examiners will be there. Thinking if a viva could be held there... or if I should submit a paper abstract for the conference. Waiting also for the plans for lodging in August (the landlord wants the flat back for last three weeks), so I would be exploring Netherlands and Cambridge as alternatives. But things can only be confirmed mid June for this when I hear back from a Prof. in Holland, who had kindly offered to allowed me to house-sit for two weeks while he is away (i.e. if no one else needs to use it). Tyndale House, Cambridge, may be where I can go for the remaining one week if the trip to Holland is possible, and back to Edinburgh by 1 Sep. Tentative plans...but for now a sigh of relief! All by prayer.
