Argh

I am disjointed and completely discombobulated because of the following:
1. Paper due on Thursday which is worth 50% of my grade in the class. Percentage of paper actually *on paper*? 0%. However, research done? Substantial. Unfortunately, possibility that paper topic is only tangentially relevant to what the teacher requires? Eh, 40%. Potential to have completely fucked myself over beyond repair? 33.3%, and rising.

2. Graduation speech hasn't been done. Nothing. Nada. I'm assuming we're going to have a mock rehearsal one of these days. I'd like to have something semi-witty and/or memorable (in the good way, not the "Jesufrakin'Cristo!" way) put together, but because of #1 and the fact that I'm horrible at multitasking when I'm freaking out I won't get a start on it until at LEAST 2:30 AM early Friday morning.

(oh, re: #1 - if there's anyone with more or less continuous computer access who'd be willing to look over my paper and lend me some beta-like typo help...any more than ones, even...as I know by the time I get to the point where I've gotten the complete thing down I'll be in no state to catch the grammatical errors, please let me know and I will love you long time forever and send you small compensatory things)

3. Exit exam on Monday. Need a good score like whoa. Or, you know, no graduation. Whee.

4. Tired. Want to collapse. Overly sweet darjeeling and Dunkin' Donuts iced coffee (two sugars, touch of cream please) only taking me so far.

5. Waaah.

That is all. I promise to be my commenty frequently posting self come next week if all works out.

Well, not at 3 am, since I do need sleep, but I can always beta when I am awake. =)

What is your paper on?

I'd be willing to be another set of eyes on your paper when it's needed. Drop me an email with it and I'll give you my input... warner dot ray at gmail dot com.

Only advice I can give is to prioritize things, take a deep breath and start with the item that needs done first and just work through that.

I know personally at work I have at least 10 of the proverbial balls in the air at any given time and if I try to focus on all 10 they all fall down and hit me in the face but if I can focus on one (or two) at a time I can get them done and out of harms way.

I'll beta for you. My grammar is excellent and my computer notifies me when I have new e-mail, so I can get back to you quickly, as long as I'm not at work (which is all of 4 hours between now and Thursday).

I'm more or less available for proofing too :) I constantly check my email and I don't have much planned for the weekend (Thursday and Friday)...
