Just Days Away

Just 5 more days until I defend my dissertation and begin a new chapter of my life. I have been doing pretty good handling the stress and anxiety that comes with wrapping up your Ph.D. But the past couple of nights I have found it difficult to sleep. In fact, I at random times during the night will wake up and start going through my defense talk in my head for no good reason. Weird. I believe that this all started once the department sent out a reminder to everyone to attend my defense and now I actually see the flyer advertising when and where I defend. Maybe I would feel better if I did the same thing this grad student did in the comic below.......
