I might actually get most of chapter two done today. Six pages this morning, aiming for six this afternoon, and six after tutoring, is about 18 pages, not quite the 20 I envisage, but that'll be much better than any version I have of it now and if I can get that to R by tomorrow then I'll have twice made up for an absence with a great many pages of thesis. Also I remembered I pushed back work to 5pm this weekend, which gives me an additional four hours of thesis time Saturday, which means if I don't finish chp2 today, it's okay. I can finish it Saturday. And write my paper for ancient novel on Sunday. And begin chp3 on Monday. Get most of chp3 done by Wednesday so that I have Thursday to study for the Latin and Greek midterms. This is feasible. This is very feasible. I just have to keep reminding myself of this so that the stress stops doing horrible things to my body. ;.;
Then intro and conclusion over spring break...? And whatever crazy revisions he has for me...? So that I'll be ready to bacc by the second week of April? Can this happen? Will this happen? Pleasepleasepleasepleaseplease...

Take a deep breath, and maybe drink a smoothie, and relax. You are making huge advances on your thesis and you have been working hard all semester. You're gonna be okay. Second week of April is pretty soon, but think of it this way: you'll be so engrossed in your topic that you'll remember what you're working on, and once your bacc is over with, that's like a month you'll have where you don't actually have to give a damn about -anything-. You'll be -free-. Really free.

Also, I'm going to upload what I have of the Catullus, and I probably won't be skipping any more classes this semester, so if you want to skip, go ahead and do it. Unless my alarms all die, I will cover whatever we do in class, and you don't have to worry about it so much.

About the midterm: David says it will be a couple poems, and maybe some sight-reading. He says the final (at the end of the year) will be poems, possibly sight, and a short essay (1-2 written pages) on Catullus from the reading. Which, since I haven't done all of that, I'll probably be working with Anya to write up summaries of what's in there. So don't let that spazz you out, either, okay?

*thumbs up* And if you need de-spazzing or a chance to rant to another thesis student, Tuesdays I'm free after class and I've still got cash on my Four Winds card. If you ever want to relax over a coffee or smoothie or whatever, I'll treat you. Just remember you're homefree after you bacc and have your library copy ready. Then you can get your David costume together and start practicing your Rohrbacherisms.
