Making A Choice
You don’t get to simply choose your examiners. You don’t get to choose what questions they will ask at your viva. You don’t get to choose whether or not you feel nervous on your viva day.
You can choose how you get ready for your viva though. You can choose the attitude that you show up with to your prep and your viva day. You can choose to steer yourself towards confidence.
You can choose the kind of person you want to be at your viva and choose to work towards that.
Of course, it’s not a single choice: it’s a daily, repeated choice to work towards something good.
Like the rest of your PhD journey.
