Dear PhD., 

Printing day!!!

Im so full of jitters. Is it enough? No time to read again but I keep feeling the need to look you over one more time. 

Aaaaaaah.

Dear PhD.,

Last day before printing of thesis. Lots of transcription left to do over the weekend but the document has to be finished today.
Lots of improvements happened yesterday and I feel like I can certainly get it done today if nothing big comes up.
I'm starting to be relieved. So close to the end.

Dear PhD.
Got a trial print today. It feels good to hold the document in almost final form.
I manage to solve several problems in the last weeks. So much done so quickly. just 4 more days of very very hard work and very very little sleep (not because I don't take the time to sleep but because my brain refuses to switch off)

Dear PhD.
Just a week and a weekend away from freedom. I'm so sleepy and nervous and unsure. When I do sleep, I dream about you (I am trying to make discourse coalitions between the DDA and the Supreme court in my sleep). I hate everyone a little more than I should. I am more emotional than ever.
I can't wait for this to be over.

Dear PhD.,

A little more than a week to submission and I feel like I've tun out of steam now.

Dear PhD.,
Can't write abstract. No words left. I have given you all I had and you still demand more.

Dear PhD.,
Strange days where I want to run to the deadline but also want more time.
Now only front and back matter and transcript and field notes to focus on.
