I want it to be over, and at the same time I want next week to be put off indefinitely.

I got the analysis up to 11 pages yesterday. The hardest part of the rest of it is going to be the conclusion, because now I'm into the translation approach section and I can go on for ages about that.

I also, after my brain started to shut down from academic writing, put headers on everything, and whipped up a FR>EN and an EN>FR list of equivalents. So now I have all the necessary pieces except for the second translation and the rest of the analysis, and adrenaline or something seems to have flipped a switch in my head. I couldn't get to sleep last night and I woke up an hour and a half early this morning.

If a miracle happens in terms of my advisor getting stuff back to me, I'll have this done by May 2. I wonder if I can play the "well, M and R aren't defending until later that week, so read my stuff first" card? (Problem being, I don't know when M and R are defending.)

Right. Hair dryer and coffee and go drop off the next installment of case study, and come home and write. It would make me absurdly happy to be able to put page numbers on everything, because that's the last thing that has to happen.

Oh, and lest I forget, I still have to do two translations for CLD on Monday and we have a project management meeting after class tomorrow. No wonder I've given up sleeping.

15 pages. I need at least another three. The first five have been read, and I came out of it in considerably better shape than I thought I would. I had to switch three sections around, but that was fairly easy.

The second translation came back, I fixed it, paginated it, slapped headers on it and that was that. Everything up to the analysis is ready to be printed. Everything after the analysis needs page numbers, which I won't know until I finish writing.

I'm afraid I'm running out of steam, and I can't do that yet. I was considering coffee, but tomorrow is Thursday, and if I don't get to bed until 3 AM, tomorrow is going to be a truly ugly day. But I want to be printing this stuff on Friday, or Saturday afternoon at the latest, and I can't print it if it isn't written and formatted and so forth.

I wish I could get coffee delivered.

Three more pages. I can do that.
