It's good that you are thinking of this now. Procrastination will kill you on your thesis. I am having the same problem with my advisor, in that I have submitted multiple chapters that he has yet to read and give feedback on.
In your situation,is it possible to write the thesis now and give each section to him when you are supposed to? That way, as soon as you are allowed to submit each section, it is already done, and you just hand it to him
Is there any reason why you can't write drafts for each section ahead of schedule? At least start an outline. Do you have any other people who can proofread your work before submitting to your advisor? That way it is mostly perfect when you submit, and you don't have to wait multiple times for each section.
Bug your advisor. Make it very well known that you are there to succeed and you just need his help jumping through the hoops. Being a good, motivated student will usually motivate an advisor to help you more. At least in my experience, many students promise a great deal and deliver very little. This is what got me into the PhD program, actually delivering, and got my labmate denied; not delivering.
Oh and congrats on your first year completed. It feels good doesn't it?
