Ha. Don't worry. I know the feeling. I'm a first year MFA student, and finals are eating me alive. Best of luck to you. Don't kill yourself with work. School's likely trying to help with that, anyway.

It's not so much the 17+ page thesis, it's the Soul Crushing Boredom (TM) of thesis. *Sigh.* Mostly, it comes down to boredom, really.

And there are finals when I get back to campus. Yeah. They're awful finals for which I won't be prepared due to this monstrosity... Well, all I've gotta do is pass, right?

My advisor's probably going to be quite happy to see the back of me in May... though, she did practically beg me to take her environmental chemistry class. My theories are either that she needs me for an LA or because she can't fill registration quotas without me.

Good luck. I'm trying to finish up a research paper before Wednesday morning. Hope you get to have at least a little family time this weekend. :)

That's for Wednesday through Saturday, I'm afraid. Me, I've got only one extra page out of thesis so far, and am about ready to blow something up just to relieve my boredom. Of course, about 1/5 of that is citations that I didn't do properly the first time around and can't relocate now... *Eyeroll.*

Best of luck to you on the paper!

That's the worst. I'm ultra-paranoid about citations.

Thanks. :) It's pretty short, and I only have about a page or two more to write.

I'm not paranoid enough, it seems. I have a batch of over 30 works where I cited them using the year rather than the page number, so now I've gotta track them all down, swap the ones that were in APA over to MLA... and this has nothing to do with the actual corrections.

Go Trixie! You can do it!

Good luck!

I hope everything goes well!

Thanks! It's not, but all I've gotta do is make it through... seven or so more pages. (And I know I said yell at me, but I'm so bored I've been pacing up and down the hall and disturbing the dog, and only got about half a page of corrections done all day.)
