My life is entering crazy-town.
I gave notice at work today -- May 10th will be my last day. I think the 11th my sisters and mom come out to visit and the 12th is the official graduation day. Then after that we have about two weeks to go through the apartment, get rid of lots of unnecesary stuff, pack it all in a moving truck, and drive away.
My defense will most likely be April 21st, with the written portion taking place about five days before that. One of my prof's is really reluctant to take part, which I understand because she's very busy. And the date isn't really, really set, because I still need to talk to one other committee member. Argle. This means I have maybe two weeks to finish a giant stack of books and spiff up three of my old papers for review.
I don't know how I'm going to find time to deal with that on top of regular classwork. I have a response paper due today by five which is almost finished, and a one-page question-and-answer thing due tomorrow. Problem for the thing due tomorrow is that I sorta have to read about nine chapters of a book that's only online in order to write it -- and it needs to be good because I have to present it to the class.
Too much going on all at once. School, moving, planning. And I suppose trying to eat and sleep in there as well. I hope this all works out. At this point its all on a knife-edge -- I could pass my classes and my test and make it home with a master's degree or I could fail any one of the many things that are due and end up coming home with a bunch of credits and a lot of debt.
Any good vibes that could be sent my way would be greatly appreciated.

Also, I don't think you've made it this far to fail. You've worked hard and you're a good student. Good luck, to both of you and *huuuuuuuuugs*
