I got my paper done, sort of. I came to a good stopping point that gave me the chance to drop the pen for awhile but still allowed me to make a substantial scientific claim. I also came across an equation that helped me tie it all together at the last minute and that made me feel better about the submission. Now I have two finals to complete in the morning and then you can stick a fork in me because I will be done. Until then I'm still penned down in the trenches taking grenades.
Cross your fingers for me.
