Hey GG!
What are you doing on babble? Aren't you supposed to be writing your dissertation? I understand that it's due May 15. You better get back to it!
OK, that was a nag, but it felt really uncomfortable, so now I'm going to give you some encouragement: I know you can do it! Be sure to take care of yourself during the process too. Get some exercise if you can, to get away from it and clear your head. I recommend regular massages as well. Also, here's a tip someone gave me during the revisions, that worked wonders: Anything your committee complains about, take it out. You'd be surprised how many sections, sentences, phrases, etc. turn out not to really be necessary parts of the dissertation! And finally, keep visualizing that day when you turn the final copy in. My university gave me a bumper sticker that said: Finally PhinisheD! And you're almost there!
