Allison is my hero of the hour, reading through my horrible draft and editing it for a some hours of her precious time. mark is a close second for his encouragement and the shoulder rubbing.
any one who knows me could look at this situation and know what's going on: I up, several hours after my bed time, on a sunday night, typing away, surrounded by books and notes which cover the couch, coffee table, and floor, stressing and wishing for death. that's right kids, it's the night before something is due.
a full draft of my dissertation is due at 1pm tomorrow. the thing is still in pieces (though nicely spell check by allison) and largely makes no since. I'm still about 1,000 words short of the word count, having inserted none of the images, still missing most of the citations, research, and all of the bibliography. and it's rounding 3am. can she do it folks? I'm not as young as i once was. it's not looking like i can pull an all nighter on this one just yet. my heart is just not in it. besides, i get to say to myself, it's only a draft. not like i'm getting a grade on it yet. i still have a two months till the final draft is due. but of course, it's thinking like that that gets a level headed girl like myself into these last minute endurance test/self-inflicted torcher sessions.
wish me luck.
