NOT making the deadline

Sigh. I'm nowhere near where I need to be right now, and I'm getting tired of saying "i'm working on it", "i'll get there when I get there", "I thought I was going to make that deadline, but obviously, I'm not". "Yeah, that's what I thought too, but that's not happening".

So... I thought I would make the Monday deadline set by my DA, and that's just not happening. My committee is NOT getting a month of reading time, unless they want to change the defense date, which I really don't want to do. I might need to adjust the deadline AGAIN after I turn this thing in.

So.... I'm going into hiding (from my DA) while I work on the analysis chapter of my dissertation. I have to feel good about it, so I can feel good about writing everything around it.

And to top it all off, I have to be in a lecture by "famous anthropologist" in 2 hours. Not sure if that's enough time to get much done, but I'm going to try.
