Breathing in, breathing out....

Since my thesis supervisor's response to my first draft changed from "just a few comments' to 'still a lot to do'  It's due on Thursday aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!! I have to say that I have found this surprisingly difficult to do.
Current mottoes, clung to like lifebuoys by a drowning person:
P's get degrees
Just keep writing, just keep writing
Only another week and then it's all over
and of course 

Have you got any other bits of HTFU/never say die/JFDI you big la-la for me? I'd be very grateful.
You know what though? I'll be ok whatever happens. I know where my towel is.

PhD comics just did one on this:

That's the thing I tell people about a PhD -- it's not about intelligence, it's how much you can put up with and keep working. When I had edits after my defense, I felt like a loser, but it was just the process -- it wasn't me. And it isn't you either.

We've seen how much you can put up with and keep going in all of your posts here, so I know that you can do this too.

Keep Calm and Carry On.

Realized that link might look dodgy, so here's the non-compressed version:

"Premature file naming happens to all of us" is the most recent one, and the one I'm talking about.
