Forced to take the day off by family & friends to rest & recoup. Birthday weekend so I’ve surrendered. Mantra of the day is: it can only be as good as your best, and that is enough. #AcademicSky #PhD #thesisdeadline #41days

The later it gets, the more tired I become, the more of a sesquipedalian I turn into. #thesisdeadline #AcademicSky #PhDLife #StudentParent #LateNightWriting #Deadline #Countdown

Exhausted, exhilarated, and fighting ahead to my penultimate deadline. I have the most amazing friends cheering for me and pushing me on. open.spotify.com/album/5Poo43... #ThesisDeadline #AcademicSky #ExplosionsInTheSky #NowListening #StudyMusic

Well, despite the fact that yesterday was a write off and this morning was an utter bomb, I somehow managed to u-turn the afternoon. Here's to coffee, perseverance, and a truly excellent biro. #AcademicSky #ThesisDeadline #PhDLife #Countdown

This week is a travesty. I’m two laptops down. I’m poorly sick & waiting for meds to kick in. I’m stressed to the MAX which I’m certain my referencing software can sense. And what was already an immensely tight deadline is only getting tighter as these hiccups pile up! #AcademicSky #ThesisDeadline
