One Defense and Three Signatures

I feel guilty today. Why you ask? Because I feel like I should be doing much more than I am. But there's not much I can do before my defense other than my class-work, grading, and practicing. Somehow that should be enough, but today I've already given a test and practiced and it's only 10:45 am. All I have left to do today is an hour of two of reading before my 4 o'clock class, and I can start grading those tests if I want to. I used to make free time to help me not stress out so much, but suddenly I have a lot of free time it seems. Of course I could be reading my thesis over and over again to prepare for my defense, which I shall do eventually. But I didn't bring it with me today, and so I have time for....what exactly do I have time for? I feel a guilty and bewildered confusion today, and it's very tempting to just enjoy it.

Your defense is making me nervous about my defense. I had a dream last night that I had to defend my dissertation and Rob starting telling me before what I needed to do to prepare and make changes. In the middle of what he was telling me, my alarm went off. I was so desperate to hear what he had to say, I turned my alarm off and went promptly back to sleep - only to wake up when I was suppose to be at work. - Sar
