Well, today has been wretched. I started out cranky and it just got worse from there. I am now completely distraught, have whined excessively at advisor R, have made no progress on my paper at all except to decide that it's the most terrible paper ever, have cried in my sleeves in my cubicle, am on the verge of tears again, and still have all my

Aw, there, there. Is there a restaurant or fast food place within a couple of blocks? You could take a little walk, get some food, and regroup before hacking away at the paper again, maybe? You should have some kind of treat to enjoy and help shed a little of the distress.

*massive hugs*
it just sounds like you're really overwhelmed. do something that will make you feel better and realize it'll all be over soon enough and you can only do so much. hang in there hun you can make it.

Thanks. You're probably right - the Haskins paper doesn't have to be that long, but the prospect of having to write something worthy of being presented to an audience is more than terrifying enough to make up for that.
