about 5 more days to freedom (or doom)

i totally could not have predicted what i am actually doing with my thesis this last week, the way i am trying to thread everything together to make a cohesive argument... seriously, i should have done this a long time ago... i feel so panicky now since i dun even know if i have the time to tweak everything to fit into the argument i want to make, much less (lest?) tighten it or make revisions to the complete draft... and mind is processing info extremely slowly. i'm doing my last min get-everything-together act for thesis really, like i usually do for my smaller papers, just over a much longer timeframe and so last week= last day for normal papers....
and when you own a disorganized, cannot-link-everything together-till-the-eleventh-hour brain like mine, you unfortunately end up doing a lot more work than you really need to. and so i'm looking at these Excel-ed tables and data, which i put into my previous submission, which i spent whole afternoons looking up in the library, that totally add nothing to my argument if i insert them this time round. you can't help but feel like slapping yourself. you feel like just inserting them even into the appendix or something... but alas! though it was hard work doing that would really be hua4 she2 tian1 zu2-ing.
