Sorta fun, sorta miserable, a bit of crying, yet pretty rewarding. Nevertheless, there is much more work to be done. How on earth do scholars write books?

Hope you got it out of your system. Some folks experience panic around this time; others frustration or anger. Just turn all that energy into mental zest for your insights and arguments and you will be fine! As for knowing how your ideas will sound in full form, don't forget that you will soon hear from me and your advisor about that and still have time to revise and polish.

I've been the same way--even though I've been really on top of it. This weekend wont be fun. It's not like I haven't expressed my ideas yet, its that I don't like how they sound yet. We're our own worst critics, right? I just cant believe this is almost over, i feel like I just asked my advisor to be my advisor. -Greg Good luck to you too!
