The paper is finished and submitted.
While I could have worked on it longer, I was willing to risk the chance of losing a point here or there for the feeling of knowing it was out of my hands and safely in the bosom of the drop box. If I'd lost it again I think I may have run away screaming.
I've never lost a paper like that. I'm always the one to be hyper-careful when saving, something I do over and over and over, to avoid catastrophes like yesterday's. But apparently my luck had run out.
Glad that's over. That buys me a little wiggle room for the weekend, though I'll still go ahead and start on the next paper, a critical essay on William K. Armstrong's book Sounder.
I'm still waiting for feedback from the prof on the draft of my paper that's due – in final form – next Friday. That'll occupy my "free time" next week.
No idle hands for me. Looks like the devil's workshop will just have to wait.
Hang in there! It will feel so good when you’re finished with them all!
