This is it. Last night of (hopefully) working all night. I would love to get some sleep at some point though. Seriously!
So I decided to stay in my office and work, rather than be home and tempted to go to take a nap that lasts for five hours *gasp!*
Plus I have access to a printer here, which I don't have at home.
Here are my most urgent plans:
Read ALL introductions and ALL conclusions to see if they make sense on their own. 2Ts
Read the Introductory Chapter in its entirety 1T
Read the concluding chapter in its entirety 1T
Finish writing the conclusion 2T
Then come back on here and check back in.
No more than 2 tomatoes per task.
Damn.. That's there hours right there. *sighs*
Another looooong night! But I'm SDC!!!!
