I got up the nerve to call T at home. She wasn't there, but maybe she checked her caller id.
she called me back an hour later.
we talked about diss stuff. she said that what I was going through was normal. I think I need to print out an extra copy of diss and burn it in effigy.
just burn the damn thing.
She told me she'd see me at my regular time. I felt kind of dumb for calling her. But she did tell me something interesting. That I don't have to be mentally ill to have the feelings that I'm having (the assumption being that my T is not mentally ill.)
I will just have to push on. like I did in organic chemistry 2nd semester when every single exam after spring break felt like a death sentence. At least there's only 3 more weeks of this madness.
3.more.weeks.
I defend in 3 days. today I get my hair cut so I won't look like shaggy llurpsiemonster. I have picked out my outfit. Linen. so that I won't be too hot under the collar.
Now I feel better prepared. I have to read my literature review notes. today. that's the thing. try to remember everything that I've read. and read 2 papers over again in their entirety. that will keep me busy. barfy, but busy.
better get started though

Lurp you may feel like your freaking out but you seem in control to me. And I know you can do it look you've even picked the outfit out. And I want you to know I admire you greatly and wish I had just a speck of that brain. Love Phillipa

Llurps, you are one gutsy person. You've come a far way from third semester and you wouldn't be allowed to be where you are now if you weren't good enough - no uni would do that to itself:) So go! Any sane person would have the feelings you're having at the moment.

So you defend on Thursday? What time? If I'm going to send good thoughts, I should send them at the right time-- don't want to use them up, unless they're on target.
Seems like you'll be as ready as anyone can be-- much more ready than you probably need to be-- which is entirely normal, by the way.Honore

I'm broadcasting. And yes, definitely time for the klonopin.
The one thing I can absolutely assure, you, Llurpsie: this is going to be a lot-- and really mean a Lot-- easier than you think. I know no one believes that until it's over-- but try to keep that in the back of your mind--. You'll do fine-- better than fine.
But I'm sending my best energy your way. Will be for the next few days.
Honore
