EEeeep

I know many of you have exams, but I am in my own special little ball of stress right now. My Phd is due(*) on the 28th. That is, twelve days from today. To hand it in, I need at least one of supervisors to have read, checked, and approved my corrections. The description of these corrections takes 13 pages, and they are scattered throughout my 170(!) page thesis.

A week ago, I emailed all my supervisors with the corrected thesis (I would have done it earlier, but had a cold, then reflux, then my ear got infected. Guh.) Only to have Supervisor 1 (who is the only one familiar with all the maths) to reply with "Oh, but I'm leaving the country for four weeks. Tommorrow."
Supervisor 3 is in Hungary busy with a new baby and hasn't replied.
Supervisor 2...is apparently going to email me with her comments later today. Will she say it's all good? Will she say "You need to redo all of it"? Will she be baffled by the sections she's unfamilar with?? Argh!!!

I mean if neccesary I can go overtime, but that will almost certainly mean missing Terracon :(

Also, I lost one of my piercings when it got Horribly Infected.

On the plus side..uh...I saw Cars. It was ok. Also work is going well apart from feeling sleepy and having sore throats more than I would like.

(*)Yes, I already handed it in. Then it was marked, and I was given four months to fix all the errors they found. This is the usual way of such things, afaict.
