Ok, so yeah, that's not gonna happen by today

so... not going to finish the rough draft of chapters 4, 5, and 6 today. as of right now, i'm about half way done with the rough draft of chapter 4. oops. my excuses are that i had to turn in another paper last wednesday for my class, and then i went to charlottesville for the weekend and i didn't have time to work on it in between all the wine tasting monica and i did... i'm calling it a mental health boosting weekend!

so i am still aiming to have it done next monday (11/7), which was always a possibility (see here), but i am going to REALLY have to work hard at it this week to get it done. chapter 4 is the longest (20-25 pages total), and it's where the bulk of the analysis is, so it's taking way longer than the other chapters... basically, i'm going to need lot of venti lattes this week to make it through my days after working all night.

i am still really, really, REALLY looking forward to being done, not only with this SRP but with my MA. i daydream about having free time, and weekends, and spare money... i applied to graduate last thursday (eek!). now all i have to do is get all this work done, even though I DON'T WANNA!!!!!!!!
