The sweet smell of completion... but I still need to proof read it hundred more times to get all those little errors out of my paper. Hope we will still have time to do some editing before handing in the copy to be published.

Anyway...its lights out for me now...I hate this 5.00am register time thing. screwed up my whole bio clock today.

95% done...

10.46pm

80% done...Yes...I have decided to bring my 'completed' back down to work in progress because i realize that the paper should be around 10-pages long. And I am not comfortable handing in my 18-page magnum even if it is about 22 years of my life. 18 is too long for any measure.

I will be doing some pruning and editing my paper tomorrow. My aim is to bring down to about 13-14 pages. I believe this would be more appropriate since i believe there are quite a few things in my magnum which are redundant, or irrelevant. A weakness that I have when writing is that I begin to get into the mode of 'ranting'. I start to write and write about things that may or may not be relevant to the theme i had started with. It is really easy for me to go astray and lose my direction towards the end of my writing. But I still have to be careful not to cut out any good details because i am notoriously good at leaving out details in my papers.

Got some encouraging reviews from Jane and Aesun after they flipped through the first few pages. But maybe they were just polite. So will work on my magnum tomorrow night. Tonight is for my Chem midterm!@!
