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.

M

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

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.
M

Dear PhD.,

So little time left.
I get insecure when I see some other people's work which is much more theoretical. But then I saw a study closer to  mine and it felt like I was on the right track.
Anyway, too late to change tracks now.

M

Dear PhD.,

The professor told a colleague that she is impressed with my writing skills. O happy day. Some not-insecure time will be had today.

M

Dear PhD.
House situation is sorted.
I feel like I am going in circles with the thesis now. changing things, unchanging them. Reconsidering the basics. I need to stop. 

Dear PhD,

Horrible panic sleepless night.
I have never been this stressed. Should I add another chapter?
Also I got an eviction notice last night. I dont know whats going on anymore.
Prof sent comments on the first 60 pages. two weeks before submission,

M.

PS- I did add another short conclusion. I did not get evicted and one and half weeks before submission, no more comments from the professor yet. 

Dear PhD.,

What a horrid day. Waiting for comments, editing all day, have to rework references, transcriptions... when will I do comments??? :( there is no time, what am I going to do?

M

Dear PhD.

Panic Panic all day long.
When will the porf send comments. and if she does when will I work on them?
AAAAHHH
Will you ever get done?

Dear PhD.

Panic again. I will recieve no comments from G as his father had a stroke! And the prof. said she read half of what I sent her- so will she send corrections before I submit? when?? I wish she would make this procedure clear.
I have no idea what I'm doing.
Also, I had a bad dream last night that Prof tells me there is not enough material in my thesis and I could fail. can't shake the feeling form that dream away.

M

Dear PhD.

Three weeks till we break up. I am having doubts now. Are we ready?
I finished writing, so much editing. Can I do this? Did I miss something? Why am I not stressed? Or am I stressed?
M

Dear PhD.,

Everyday my opinion of the thesis changes. One day I am sure its horridly inadequate and another day I am sure its well done.
I am struggling (3 days and counting) to write the conclusion. I dont know how to conclude, it should be easy but its so hard.
Intro left. and then all that peripheral stuff. I am so tired.

M
