Countdown...

Four days until mother gets here.

Three full days to write at least a rough draft of this damn lit review so I can send it to my supervisor for critique in time to get it back and have a few days to tweak any rough patches after mum's gone.

I have less than 1,000 words so far. We've been given a usual range of 5,000-10,000, and I have a feeling it's going to be closer to 10,000. SO far to go.

However, I have read over 100 journal articles, ended up ordering one book I couldn't get anywhere else, and have (mostly) narrowed it down to the 50 or so references that are acceptable for this sort of review. I have a rough outline in my head about how I'm going to procede. I know this stuff. I just have to write it down.

Argh. This is going to be a hellish three days. Fannish activity will likely cease (except the occasional pornish distraction to help me cope), so catch you guys on the flip side.

GIP b/c it's so damn funny. Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] iconzicons.

You'll do great. I'll send good vibes to you. Seems we are all under the gun this week. I'm doing a presentation to the city council executive comitee tomorrow night. Tomorrow is going to be non stop adrenalin.

{{{Chantal}}} Thanks, sis. Good luck to you, too. I'm sure you'll do great on your presentation!
