THE PAPER IS FINISHED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Let the Ferret-dancing commence!)
Ninety-two pages of sweet, sweet Predynastic goodness. 49 pages of actual text, 2 appendices, 204 footnotes, 13 figures (not counting the ones in the first appendix), 5 revisions, and a partridge in a pear tree. Due tomorrow, er, today by 5 PM. There will be much drinking this evening. All done while managing a full course load and working 10-15 hours a week and trying to learn to read French. It would have been done sooner, but I didn't get the final suggestions from my advisor until 9:30 Wednesday evening and, well, I had stuff I had to do besides that. Anyway, it's over, it's done and now I just have to wait and see if they let me hang around here.
