so glad I found this thread. (coming to the end of my fourth year and trying to put a thesis together - roughly half way atm, need to be finished by end of April *GULP* )

I have so much done, and so much to do :-(. I just don't want this albatross hanging around my neck ANY more. I want rid one way or the other.

I really really love this:
