Ouch, this hurts!

Well, it's 6:40 am and I'm still at work. The good news is that I have completed typing the text for chapter 7! I'm so tired I could cry, yet deep down I'm smiling because I know the end is in sight. Once I revise chapters 6 & 7, I can begin the conclusion. My plan is to have chapter 8 completed by August 11th. I know that may seem like a strange date, especially since it's a Thursday, but it's the day I return from Hawai'i. Once that is out of the way, I can work on the introduction, then I'm home free. Sort of. There's still the defense and the revisions I know I'll have to make, but still.
