Doing well.... a little worried about the talk I'm giving tomorrow but not much to be done about that now.
Papers are in good shape except for the damn Etymology paper. I'm tearing my hair out with this thing. Haven't touched the draft since I banged it out on Tuesday. It needs some serious help.
Did major surgery on Chaucer paper the other day and I'm feeling pretty good about it, though I haven't read it since the surgery so that feeling may go poof after I take another read.... draft four tends to be my breakthrough draft though. Hopefully now it'll be mostly polishing... Lots of pressure on this paper as I'm giving it the last day of class and I hope to give it at a few conferences.... if it turns out well may also use it as PhD writing sample.... oh and publish. Not sure where I'd publish it, but my prof may have some ideas.
Tonight was the night to get my Rhetoric paper together and it went very very well. Again, haven't re-read since major surgery, but hopefully my confidence isn't unfounded.
Adjusting to this workload is slightly hellish. Good god.
Last day with the minions tomorrow.
