I am on the 95th page, and I have only the conclusion left. It must be pithy and memorable. In other words, I must leave it for "tomorrow" (later today?), because I sincerely doubt my ability to compose original thought right now. It was hard enough following my outline point by point for the last several hours, despite the fact that I drank
two bottles of Diet Mountain Dew.
My tasks for "tomorrow": (1) Write conclusion in less than five pages; (2) Edit entire paper; (3) Add in the proper first references all through, where right now I only have second reference format (because I don't know what I will do to my quotations when I edit); (4) Do my laundry; (5) Pack for my weekend at college, so I can head off to the airport at 6am on Thursday.
At some point between now and 7pm on Thursday, I also need to shuffle my lengthy project into a 10-minute presentation for the student Research Symposium at college.
Ah, life...
