the last one

I'm nearly there.

And in the process I've learned two things about myself:
a) I'm the worst procrastinator ever
b) I'm a perfectionist

a + b =  horribly, horribly high stress levels

Take this paper that was due Wednesday, for example.  It was too much, and I felt a little like this guy here:

All the while thinking: 

-must. not. do. this. to. myself.

-must. use. will. power.

-must. finish. this. dumb. dumb. paper.

-why. why. why. does. this. always. happen. to. me.

BUT, now that it's done, all I can think is, "THIS IS THE LAST DARN PAPER I WILL EVER WRITE FOR SCHOOL!!!!!!!!!!!!  LAST PAPER EVER*!!!!!!!

AHHHHHHH!!!  THIS is what pure jubilation feels like!! :)

*I graduate this year!  Conditional on the fact that I never go back to school.  People who know me well are kinda convinced that I've got a PhD to tackle....aieee... don't even want to think about that!
