What to do???

I have learned alot in my 35, ok almost 36 years of life. One of the things I have learned is that I work best under pressure. Ok, not too much pressure but some. I am the world's greatest procrastinator. It is not that I take pleasure in holding that title and I am sure there are others more deserving of the title but presently I feel as if I hold the title. It is Tuesday night and I doo not have the dissertation in front of me. I am not holding my head in my hands screaming "WHY ME"? I sent off my soon to be masterpiece and I anxiously wait for its return. Oh yes, track changes are wonderful and of course they come in RED! Doesn't Bill Gates know that RED is not appropriate when grading papers???? I feel lost without my precious paper but then when it returns it will be a mad dash to fix it and return it for a third revision.
So,back to my first thought and yes these are truly random brain waves here, I really seem to work better when it is crunch time. I pray that the Lord will continue to give me strength, patience, and whatever else I need to get through this process. I know the finish line is in sight. I dream about it. I dream about the moment I can tell my mom and dad that I successfully defended and you can know call me Dr. P. You see, for me that has much more meaning than anyone really understands. Perhaps even more than mom and dad remember. When I was growing up I played basketball on church and rec leaques. I was the big center and I constantly played ball in the yard. Julius Erving was hot then and of course they called him Dr. J. Well, I was Dr. P. Back then it didn't mean much but now the sounds of Dr. P are becoming a real sensation. I can't wait. I am pumped!
