Fuck fuck fuckity fuck.
My thesis is 10 thou creative product and 10 thou exegesis. I'm working on the creative product, which needs be done by ... well, now, mid-February (I had in my notes the end of February, but I'm pretty sure she corrected herself to mid-February and I'm erring on the side of caution). I'm still 5 to 6 thou words short of a polished article, with most of the word-count I'm missing being made up of rough drafts. I'd planned for three excerpts: one in the beginning, one in the middle, one in the end. Originally, I only started at the beginning because it was one of the only scenes I had any thoughts for; now, it's completely different to what it was, but for some reason it didn't occur to me to go for a different scene.
My plotline went through a MAJOR revamp last night. Now I'm looking at it and thinking, 'I don't want to use the excerpts I'd planned to; they're meaningless.' And I know more or less which excerpts I'd choose otherwise--ones that specifically present the protagonist's character development and the rise and fall of his pride. But I don't have time to rewrite and edit, because my supervisors need time to look it over before their classes begin. And my main supervisor basically told me this was the last draft for the creative product; after this, we're focussing on the exegesis, for which I haven't done nearly the amount of research I should have (I have the books, I just haven't read them) because I just haven't been able to sit down and focus.
On top of that I have a newsletter due within the week for this community group I'm part of, and I haven't even recieved all the material yet.
I'm going to fail.
EDIT: After thinking about it for a bit the beginning excerpt isn't nearly as inappropriate as I thought, as it still introduces the character and setting (most importantly the setting, since it's an important part of the reason why I chose this particular project), it's just not as good from a characterisation point of view as it could be, which I could really play with in terms of my exegesis ... though I can't really say which excerpts are most appropriate for my exegesis given that I only have the basic themes in mind. And I'm still going through a stage of 'what the fuck, this is crap it'll never pass muster', so that's not helping either. ._.
But I still have to choose the other two excerpts, and while I have on in mind for the end (but not quite end) which is pretty good I have no idea which one to choose for the middle without going too far away from the middle. Ergh.
